Irish Florin Values
The Irish Florin, or two-shilling coin, was part of Ireland’s pre-decimal currency, circulating from 1928 until 1971 and valued at 1/10 of an Irish pound (24 pence). It featured a salmon on the reverse and the Irish harp on the obverse, symbolising national identity and heritage. Early Florins (1928–1943) were made of 75% silver and are more valuable to collectors, while later coins (1951–1968) were minted in cupronickel. Collector value depends on year, condition, and rarity.
