| Irish Free State Coins : 1928-1968 |
| |
Modern Irish Free State Coins were first issued by the Irish Government in 1928.
Denominations included the farthing, halfpenny, penny, threepence, sixpence, shilling,
florin and halfcrown. A total of 66 designs were received
from the artists in accordance with guidelines specifying that one side carry
a harp and the other animals or birds. In the end, it was the designs submitted
by Percy Metcalfe that were selected.
The farthing and halfpenny were withdrawn from circulation
in 1969, and two years later decimalization saw the withdrawal of the penny,
threepence, sixpence, and halfcrown. The sculptor Gabriel Hayes, whose
work can be seen in several places in Dublin, was commissioned to design
the new decimal coins - ½p, 1p and 2p.
