Beastly Coins

This video is enjoyable to watch and gives quite an insight into the time of the birth of Irish coinage.

Just as well Fraser didn't throw his hat in the ring for the design competition.

Maybe they should have extended an invitation to Laura Fraser too.
I bet the livestock inspector from the department of agriculture wouldn't have griped about her grasp of bovine anatomy.

Interesting film.

In the 1950's there were shops in San Francisco selling sets of Irish coins and my father bought two sets and gave them to me.
