I'm hoping someone can help with valuating this one..

This is an 1815 Edmund Burke Political token overstruck on a Dublin, Ireland, Stephens 1813 penny token.


Quote:
Edmund Burke (1730-1797) [was] a renowned author, orator, and statesman. This Dublin native, as Secretary to Prime Minister Lord Rockingham, helped delay the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War by advocating conciliation rather than coercion. He wrote three great speeches on the American struggle: A Letter to the Sheriff's of Bristol 1772, American Taxation 1774, and Conciliation with the Colonies 1775. His 1790 writing Reflections on the Revolution in France provoked Thomas Paine to reply with Rights of Man.


Designed by the diesinker Parkes.
Obverse: 1815 ONE POUND VALUE FOR 240 (Ed Burke left)
Reverse: Hibernia holding an olive branch next to an oval shield bearing the Irish harp, exergue marked 1815

Undertype:
1813 James Stephens Penny Token (copper) Dublin, Ireland
Obverse: Laurelled Bust to left, "Wellington & Erin go Bragh 1813."
Reverse: Harp Crowned "E. Stephens. Dublin."

Images below - thanks for any help!
