Title:
Lucky Irish Penny 1968 1 Pingin
Description:
This big, old Irish Bronze Penny is almost as hard to find as a leprechaun. And like the legendary elves of the Emerald Isles, it is believed to bring good luck.
The half-dollar-sized coin was introduced in 1928, decades before Ireland became a republic. The last was struck nearly 30 years ago. With its obverse depicting a hen and her chicks, the coin captures the charm of a country that’s almost half rural. A Celtic harp is featured on the reverse.
The Irish Bronze Penny has always been popular as a “Lucky Penny” to be given on special occasions. And what could be luckier than a “Lucky Penny” from the land of leprechauns and shamrocks!
Luck of the Irish to You!
