Wren

ah wow, excellent Deida

Verrrry cooool! Deida.

Remember it ?? It was my pocket money lol

Sorry Deida I dont .... well that my story and I am sticking to it lol

Yes, lovely with the wren. I've got 3 of them. Including one from 1917.

BB showing your age.............

Don't believe you Janette.......

Paulthegard..lucky you..Interesting ..I am fond of coins and antiques

Poor Paul...only got three..not evengot enough to spend a penny !

Very good BB

I have one in a box somewhere. But no, I don't remember them ever in circulation.

I've got some of these. I don't remember using them though.

I like this photo.
I've put it on my favourites.
A fascinating coin now, but just loose change to our ancestors !
Thanks for uploading this picture.
Very clever idea to put this one on GoY. :o)

i must look out some old irish coins i have here. some have animals on them

I don't collect them Deida 51, they are just among a few coins my wife and I found in our gardens etc when we were kids. On closer inspection, I've got 4 but the 1917 coin doesn't have the wren picture, it has Brittania instead.

Thanks Paulthegard

I remember them and the 12 sided threepenny bits with the thrift plant on the back! It's not that I'm old - just that my memory is good :)

before I was born D........not often I can say that these days ;-) I can remember hapnies and 3p bits.

before your time

Threepenny 70th ??

phew, 70 in but phased out in 1971 I think.

Oh heck! I DO!!!!!!!
