There was no such thing as 'Ireland South' at the time of George I. He reigned from 1714 (death of Queen Anne) to 1727 (his death) and was the first of the Hanoverians. The concept of Ireland divided into north and south didn't happen until the treaty in 1921.

I'm puzzled as to why you call the dark object a coin, what's on the other side? It should have the monarch's head on one side if it's a coin. Otherwise (if it had any street value at the time), it's a token of some kind. Which would have limited the places where it could been exchanged for goods because (unlike a coin) it was not legal tender.
