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 Two 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 2p 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.
