1 Penny coin Ireland

1 Penny Ireland (Issued 1980)

The Irish one-penny coin was part of the decimal coinage introduced in the Republic of Ireland in 1971, in use until the country adopted the euro in 2002. Struck in bronze with a coppery colour and a plain edge, it was a small everyday coin made for constant small-change handling. Its designs blend the national emblem with early Irish art.

On the obverse is the Irish harp, the Brian Boru harp that serves as the emblem of Ireland, with the country name “ÉIRE” to the left and the year to the right.

On the reverse is a stylised ornamental bird adapted from a decorated initial in a medieval Irish manuscript, with the numeral “1” and the word “pingin” (penny).
