WTB Irish coins 20's

yellowkid

Does anyone have, or know anyone who may have any of the Irish coins with the sow and piglets? I'm looking for a kick butt toned piece in at least ms63 condition. Or, does anyone know if they come up often?? Thanks!!

Only found one piece in the HA archives.

Update. Found a great site with modern Irish coinage, it appears as if ALL the coins of the 20's- 30's featured animals, I would be interested in any of these.

Specifically those are halfpennies and were minted beginning in 1928. The whole series is very attractive as a set, and it is possible occasionally to find the 1928 sets in their original packaging. I know the Irish mint was still selling them slowly but surely into the late 1980's.
