    Here I go again, I found this interesting having been searching for Wellington Tokens.
    I was chasing after the Wellington Erin Go Brach Ireland Halfpenny and they are somewhat scarce and then I happened to find two oddball tokens that seem to be even more elusive so I bought them.
    This one I think is an overstruck Irish penny and has an overstruck legend. Can anyone tell me what the host coin is? Thank you.
