This type was struck at Dublin for Ireland 1969-71, 1974-82, 1985-86 and 1990 as part of the decimal conversion. The first decimal coins (introduced in 1969) were the five pence (equaled the old shilling with the bull reverse) and the ten pence (equaled the old florin with the salmon reverse). The fifty pence was added in 1970, the half, one and two pence coins were added in 1971. The five pence was reduced to 3.25 g for 1992-2000, and the old large coins demonetized in 1994. Proofs exist for 1971 and 1986.
The Irish Currency Office in Dublin began production of currency in 1974 and coins in 1976; previously, these items had been contracted in Britain.
Recorded mintage: 24,404,000.
