If my one can be used to update it on the site feel free or maybe I would need to take better photo's. Not sure how it works.

That link from the earlier reply is for a slightly different token ...

That is:
E. STEPHENS
1813 or 1814
Date is on obverse
DUBLIN on reverse

Yours is:
EDWD. STEPHENS
1816
Date is on reverse
No DUBLIN lettering

So - I created a new page, using your pictures and put your name underneath.
Though >
Diameter ? I guessed: 34mm
Orientation ? I guessed: Coin alignment ↑↓
What is the edge - plain or lettering ?
What does it say below the portrait ?

Wow!! That's amazing
34mm diameter is right
Here are two more pictures for the edge and name at bottom of bust
Thanks - I added those images, and other information, to the new page.
Still asking what is the orientation?

When I look at the head side of the coin then turn it over the harp is upside down with the base of the harp at about 1 o'clock if that makes sense. Hope that's what you looking B.

​Yes it is. The 1813 and 1814 token had a different engraver: Thomas Haliday: http://museu.ms/collection/object/69209/token-penny-tokens-19thcentury-tokens-dublin

While the engraver for the 1816 token was the Irish medallist Isaac Parkes: http://museu.ms/collection/object/69212/token-penny-tokens-19thcentury-tokens-dublin-i-parkes
That museum has 6 pieces of the 1816 token but none as nice as Treedoc's token.

It looks like there are eight varieties for the 1816 token (scroll down to the second last line). Maybe that's why the Fitzwilliam Museum has 6 pieces, these might be all different varieties but they only show the obverses.
