Some coins become desired because they are rare. Others become treasured because they tell the story of a nation. The Irish Threepence is one of those coins.
For more than forty years, this distinctive little coin passed through the hands of millions across Ireland. Used to buy newspapers, sweets and everyday essentials, it quietly became part of everyday life before eventually disappearing from circulation forever.
It marked the closing chapter of an era.
Yet what truly set this coin apart wasn't simply its place in history...It was the beautiful design it carried.
Created by Percy Metcalfe, the graceful Irish Hare remains one of the most admired animal designs ever to appear on a circulating coin. Elegant, unmistakable and rich in symbolism, it has become an enduring icon of Irish numismatic history and a favourite among collectors worldwide.
Today, surviving examples offer a tangible connection to that vanished chapter of history and now, that legacy has been given a remarkable new presentation. An original authentic Irish Threepence, carefully preserved beneath a layer of pure 24-carat Fairmined gold, transforming an everyday circulating coin into a striking collectible worthy of display.
Whether you're fascinated by Irish coinage, appreciate classic coin designs, or simply enjoy owning pieces that capture history at a turning point, this is a wonderful opportunity to own one of the last coins of its kind.
Rest assured, you have no further commitments, and your purchase is protected by The London Mint Office's 14-day “no quibble” guarantee.
