Front text reads, "IRELAND".

Back caption reads,

"QUIN ABBEY, a former Franciscan Friary, was built

between 1350 and 1402. Consisting of a nave and a chancel with a tall tower between,

the Abbey contains the tomb of the founder McNamara. Suppressed

in 1541, the Friars later returned, and though driven out again in 1641,

they remained on in the district until 1760. A National Monument,

Quin Abbey is one of the highlights of the mediaeval tour from Shannon which

features a realistic mediaeval banquet in Bunratty Castle."
