Quis separabit above a crown, flowers and hands shaking. Brass, round, 24 mm, 6 grams. The motto translates as "who will separate us?" (from the love of Christ). The dormant British order of chivalry The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick was created in 1783 by King George III and lasted until 1922 when Ireland became the Irish Free State. The Monks of the Screw was the name of an Irish drinking club active in the period 1779-1789. It was also called the Order of St. Patrick. The "screw" referred to the corkscrew. Founded by John Philpot Curran, members were liberal and assisted in reforms of the penal laws. Most supported the Irish Patriot Party.
