Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Penny coin from Ireland, minted during the reign of George I (1722-1724), is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of the king. Prior to this, coins from Ireland had typically featured a depiction of the Irish harp or other symbols. The inclusion of the king's portrait was a sign of the increasing influence of British rule over Ireland during this time period.
