| Obverse description | Two male figures operating a mechanical rolling mill, depicted in an industrial scene typical of early 19th-century trade token iconography. The denomination ONE PENNY TOKEN appears as a legend above the central device, while the issuer's name J·HILLES DUBLIN is inscribed in the lower field. The composition reflects the mercantile and manufacturing identity of the issuer. |

| Reverse description | A prominent sprig of shamrock occupies the central field, rendered with multiple trifoliate leaves on branching stems, serving as the principal national symbol of Ireland. A circular legend surrounds the device, reading PAYABLE IN BANK OF IRELAND NOTES, with the date 1813 positioned in the lower exergue. The overall design is characteristic of Irish provincial token coinage of the Napoleonic-era currency crisis. |
