Revision as of 13:11, 19 September 2021
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. This type, struck 1940-68, features a hen and chicks on the reverse, celebrating Irish agriculture. This date is common in all grades.
Recorded mintage: 21,000,000 plus proofs.
Specification: 9.45 g, bronze, 30.9 mm diameter, designed by Percy Metcalfe.
Catalog reference: KM 11.
