Coins Of Ireland
Irish coins have been issued by a variety of local and national authorities, the ancient provincial Kings and High Kings of Ireland, the Kingdom of Ireland (1541-1801), the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland(1801-1922), the Irish Free State(1922-1937), and by the present Republic of Ireland. Some modern British coins have Northern Ireland symbols (such as flax and the harp) but these are circulated throughout the UK.
