Impossible to say based on the pics. Odds aren't good though.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.
Visit the Society of US Pattern Collectors at USPatterns.com.
It looks like it may have been plated at one time.
According to John Stafford-Langan: "Where there is a - in the value column for the proof strikings this is an indication that no proofs are available to collectors - in some of these cases there is a single proof coin known which is in the British Museum's collection having been struck for the Museum by the Royal Mint."
1941 is one of those years, so yours is almost certainly not a proof. http://www.irishcoinage.com/MODCAT.HTM#modpe
