Scope and content

A collection of 6 Irish coins.

  1. Silver pound/punt with a stag, 1996.
  2. Gold coloured 20p with a horse, 1995.
  3. Silver 50p with a bird, 1998.
  4. Silver 5p with a bull, 2000.
  5. Silver 10p with a fish, 1997.
  6. Copper 1/2d with a pig and piglets, 1966.

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.
