IRELAND 7-coin DECIMAL BU SET

Although Ireland is now one of the countries to use the euro as its currency, the decimal pound was its currency for 30 years between 1971 and 2001. There are 7 coins in the set and all are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, though there may be some variation in dates. The three lower denomination coins all feature ornamental birds on the reverse, while the other four are more linked to agriculture, which was always the mainstay of the Irish economy. Only the 20 pence coin is significantly different from its UK equivalent, as it is larger, round and struck in nickel brass.
