The Soho Mint (i.e., where the dies would have been made for the genuine piece) is my sole numismatic focus. 
Your piece is a crude imitation of a genuine design. I can't seem to locate the images of the example in my collection; however, I did locate my notes. Check out lots 321 and 322 of September 27th (2011) St. James Auctions.

Compare the fine details between the genuine examples linked above with the cartoonish execution of your piece. A self-described collector with years of experience should have no issues identifying the discrepancies. 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your piece is not genuine. A quick comparison of the obverse with any confirmed genuine example of Küchler’s work should be sufficient to establish that fact.

I will forgo any discussion of the French pieces until others have had ample time to guess, but I likely should have been more specific in the language I opted to use for the Irish Penny. If following Peck's classification this would likely fall under the "Late Soho" category, as it was probably struck at the Soho Mint at a much later date than indicated on the coin. The term "Restrike" is typically reserved for pieces struck at a later date using retouched Soho Mint dies, but not by the Soho Mint (i.e., Taylor). The waters get a bit murky as you dive deeper.

Wow, 2023 was a particularly productive numismatic year. Not only did I attend FUN for the first time, but I also took the opportunity to attend the Token Congress after spending a few days exploring all that London had to offer. Although I did not buy much, I made several new friends and thoroughly enjoyed the varied lectures while sipping on a pint of true English ale. In sum, I added well north of a hundred new pieces to my collection. Of those, 11 came from the Watt Jr. Collection, and 3 resided in the Boulton family holdings. There is something very cool about owning a piece that once belonged to the proprietors of the Soho Mint for nearly two centuries before making its way to the market. I am pushing the boundaries of brevity, but since I have not posted here much lately, I opted to share my top 30 acquisitions from 2023. These are presented in the order in which I purchased them. Please note that in almost every instance, the marks you see in the photo are on the holder.
Of the 30 pieces below, only 4 were not struck at the Soho Mint. Can you figure out which ones?

Thank you! So you're the one who bid me up on the medal? 
Yes, the Virginia piece is a 25M. I had a blast attributing that coin - it brought back fond memories from EAC days.
