One Vintage Irish Coins. Year 1979 this design was taken from the Famous book of kells and represents a Celtic Bird on the 1p & 2p Coins from Ireland,

The design of the Irish One Penny coin was based on Celtic style illustrations of Birds from the Book of Kells. An ancient Irish manuscript created by unknown monks around the year 800. The 1p wasn’t alone in drawing inspiration from the Book of Kells.

The Book of Kells was created in 800 AD in Iona or Kells, both in Meath County, Ireland. Many historians believe it originated on Iona and was transported to Kells for safety. In any case, the manuscript was developed by monks who learned their profession at Iona, a major center of religious education at the period.
