I always enjoy looking at the early Irish coins and banknotes. The 1928 series coins, Lady Lavery banknotes, and Ploughman banknotes are all just so well designed.

Had a few Irish shillings post grades and truviews a few days ago. I've been trying to build a set from raw coins, but is getting harder and harder to find the early dates. Still need a couple of the early dates to finish off the set.

And another.....S-6591B PCGS PR-30. It says on the label that it is the S-6591A, but the description is consistent with S-6591B in the recent version of Spink's book on Irish coinage as it is overstruck on the 5 sols. I believe the earlier version of Spink had it listed as S-6591A.
Beautiful piece. Those are really tough and you've got a nice group.

This one is really cool. Wonder what were the circumstances around it to be struck over a 5 sols.

Very nice proof 2/6.
Not sure if the OP's post is intended to be limited to moderns, but in case it is not, here is an S-6240 in AU-55, dating to 1216-1272.

Two of my favorites. The 1937 is a MS64! Only a single graded higher and I doubt @gscoins will let it go haha.
