These lovely Irish sixpences show the Irish harp on the front and the Irish Wolfhound on the reverse with the word "Reul". Reul is the Irish for a Real - the Spanish Real denonimation was widely used in Europe and America between about 1500 and 1820. A 1 Real piece corresponded to the value of sixpence and as the Spanish coins circulated widely in Ireland the Irish language adopted the word 'real' for a sixpence. The first Irish sixpence was minted in 1928 and were made from nickel, changed in 1942 to cupro nickel. Please note that these coins contain no silver.

We currently have two sixpences in stock dated 1953 and 1964. The scans make the 1953 sixpence look darker than it does in the flesh, both coins are about the same grade.
