This specimen was part of lot 22849 in Heritage sale 3010 (Boston, August 2010), which sold for $322. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic Mixed Lot of Eleven Coins, 1/4 Penny 1939...Grades run from VF to UNC." After winning independence from Great Britain after World War One, Ireland went thru a civil war before settling on a free state completely separate from Britain. The first coinage of the new country was in 1928; in 1939, the obverse legend was revised from "SAORSTAT EIREANN" to plain "EIRE", which title still obtains.
Recorded mintage: 786,000 plus proofs.
Specification: 2.83 g, bronze, 20.3 mm diameter, designed by Percy Metcalfe.
Catalog reference: KM 9, S-6645.
