Hey everybody. I'm a woodworker searching for Irish coins featuring a horse to use in some of my resin pieces. The only one I've found so far is the 20 pence piece pictured below. Does anyone know of Irish coins that feature a horse other than this one? The one pictured will do but I'd like to have some other artistic options if they're out there.

Thank you.

    The Irish coins each had a different animal. They are very well done and I especially like the pound/punt coin with the deer.

    Not sure about older coins, but I think that 20 pence horse is your best bet.

    The half crowns from 1928-1967 also have a horse on them

    Ron-Welcome to the Boards. I am a long-time collector of Irish coins. As others have said, you should probably try the World Con Forum. Also, half crowns beginning in 1928 depict a horse, and the coins of that era are generally well done, but perhaps not so "fluid." I'll show a pic below. The only other piece that comes to mind immediately is the Blacksmith's half-crown from the great rebellion-a much more expressive and descriptive piece to my eye. These pieces are rare and expensive. I have one, but the one depicted below, which is not mine would count as one of the finest known. Best of luck!

    Does it have to be Irish? If so, that's the only one. If not, there are others.
