Description

He’s in luck—the Irish pound and pence are no longer in use, but they can still add great style to his shirtsleeves. Phased out in 2002 with the introduction of the Euro, these genuine 5-pence coins capture a piece of Irish history, and perhaps commemorate family history or a favorite vacation to the Emerald Isle.



  • authentic 5-pence coins

  • set of two, showing the coin's front and back

  • one cuff link displays the Irish harp, a heraldic symbol used on Ireland’s coins since the 1530s

  • the other cuff link displays a bull, an important animal in Ireland’s agricultural economy

  • coined between 1969 and 2002

  • set in sterling silver

  • bullet-style backs

  • 3/4" diam
