Irish Floirin (Two Shillings)

Brief Description

The obverse features the Cláirseach (Irish Harp) with the country name 'Éire' to the left and '1966' to the right. The reverse (not shown but typical of this issue) features a salmon.

Historical Significance

This coin was part of the pre-decimalisation currency of Ireland. The 1966 issue is notable as it corresponds with the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising, though the standard circulating design remained the harp and salmon. This series was used until the decimalisation of Irish currency in 1971.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $5.00 USD (Value depends heavily on condition and collector demand)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can damage the coin's surface and reduce its numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
