Comment
Only one in the National Museum of IrelandInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Coróin (Pattern) 1938 from Ireland made of Silver (.750) is that it was designed by the Irish artist and sculptor, Oliver Sheppard. Sheppard was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern ½ Coróin features a depiction of a traditional Irish harp on the obverse side, surrounded by the inscription "Éire" (the Irish word for Ireland) and the date "1938." The reverse side of the coin features a stag's head, which was a common motif in Irish coinage at the time. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
