-   a harp DÉPOSE and a curious mark
TO BE SPENT IN THE HOUSE = 2d
Listed as an Irish Pub token.
Unlikely to be Irish - I haven't seen any Irish pieces with the "To be spent" legend, and the harp is unusual. However it might be for an "Irish" pub in England. Then again, it could be Welsh!
 
I've found the following, which suggests the above have no Irish connection!


Another design with a DEPOSE and a "seal or sealion".

Lucky Buck - Lucky Leprechaun Irish Pub

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN IRISH PUB ORLANDO FLORIDA 407/352-7031
Listed as follows
A rare discovery piece uncovered during the recent FUN Show in Orlando that caused a stir among those serious Florida collectors to whom it was shown. This 38mm beauty is made of an uncertain material, either celluloid or vulcanite or plastic and is inscribed in Leprechaun Gold on a full Dublin Green planchet. These pieces of Leprechaun Loot are good for one dollar off your next purchase of drink (including Guinness!) or food at the lair of the little liltin' leaper. Finding the loot is hard as finding the principle's pub is VERY hard even if you know where to look -- and the wee ankle biter doesn't like you taking any of his loot away but I chanced it and snuck out one piece while the tiny troll-like tyke was nodding off watching Notre Dame nabbing defeat from the jaws of victory on the telly...
