It's a token. Its origin is obscure and deliberately so, because it was made in England at a time when there were strict laws in place regarding production and use of tokens in England; most were shipped off to Ireland and/or Canada. This particular type depicting the god Mercury / Hermes was made by the British Copper Company in the early 1800s. It is listed in the British Tokens catalogues but not apparently in the Canadian catalogues, so it presumably mostly ended up in Ireland. Here's an earlier thread with one.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
