Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Pingin (Trial) 1927 from Ireland made of Copper is a rare and unique coin, with only 300,000 minted. It was designed by the Irish artist and sculptor, Oliver Sheppard, and features a depiction of a bard playing a harp on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the image of a crowned harp. The coin was minted in 1927, during the transition from the Irish Free State to the Republic of Ireland, and was intended to be used as a new currency for the country. However, due to political and economic factors, the coin was never widely circulated and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
