This is a set of Irish coins from soon before the currency was decimalised in 1971. The coins on display are a six pence coin (with a picture of a dog), a half penny (a pig and piglets), a half crown (two and a half shillings, or thirty pence, with a picture of a horse), three pence (a hare) and a penny, with a picture of a turkey. Irish pounds (officially called punts, the Irish for pound) were equivalent to English pounds until 1979, when Ireland entered the European Monetary Union.
