Irish Penny

[elle...@gmail.com]

Hi - I'm trying to track down an Irish penny that is about the size of
a quarter. My father carried one for several years and recently lost
the coin. I have no idea where to start, so any information will be
helpful.
Thanks!

Sounds like a half-penny. Did it have a pig on one side? Or a chicken
(half dollar size)?

Either or, look in the junk boxes at any coin show. For fifteen cents
each, you can almost complete a collection from 1928 (Free Irish
Republic - different mottos) to 1968 when production stopped.
