Irish Halfcrown Values
The Irish Halfcrown, minted between 1928 and 1967, was a key coin in Ireland’s pre-decimal currency system, valued at two shillings and sixpence (1/8 of a pound). Featuring the Irish harp on one side and a horse on the other, the coin was initially struck in silver and later in cupronickel, making earlier issues more valuable to collectors. Over time, the value of Irish Halfcrowns has come to reflect not only their metal content and condition but also their rarity, with certain years—particularly those with low mintages—fetching higher prices. As a result, the Halfcrown remains a popular and historically significant coin among numismatists, offering insights into Ireland’s monetary and cultural heritage.
