Mmmmm... a nice, meaty chicken! It makes me hunger even more for the chicken noodle soup I'm about to eat. Not at the time this posts, that is, but about 1 and 1/2 days before as this is being scheduled. OK, now that my is eaten, I can go on.
This coin was minted back when Ireland used the shilling and pound like the Brits, and their currencies were the traded 1:1. The only thing that made them different was the designs used on them. This coin has a chicken rather than Brittania on the reverse and the denomination written as 1ᵈ and pingin, which means penny. The obverse, rather than featuring the King, has the Irish harp, the word Ireland written in Irish, and the date. This coin is worth about $0.50.
Happy Easter Rising!
(Well, almost.)
