From 1950s Ireland here is a set of seven different Irish coins dated from 1950 to 1959....  halfpenny to half crown. They are all in fine condition and better. They are absolute beauties.

The coins are by Percy Metcalf, (1895-1970) who won the competition to design the first coins for the Government of the Irish Free State. The rural farming and wildlife theme was known as the Barnyard set. There is still the farthing to add to the set and they come up from time to time on ebay.

This listed set consists of;

Half Crown Irish hunter horse 1955

Florin Salmon 1959

Shilling Bull 1954

Sixpence Irish Wolfhound 1958

Threepence Irish hare 1953

Penny Hens & chicks 1950

Halfpenny Sow & piglets 1953


Rest assured I do not use stock photos. These are the coins I am selling and the ones you will receive.


The photos were taken in natural daylight and have not been altered or digitally enhanced in any way.


I always combine postage on multiple items.

Thanks for looking.
