I love those irish animal coins.

 

Modern Irish coins have always been popular with British Commonwealth numismatists.I do collect them myself.

Very nice have not seen one before.

 

what is the rule for grading these coins?

 

John,modern Irish coins are graded according to the British Commonwealth (7 point) grading system,but they are notoriously difficult to grade,as there is often weak striking on the obverse,especially in the centre of the harp strings.

I dont have the dog, I have rabbit, pig and bull...havent photographed them yet though. I plan to get one of each animal in the end.

 

Drusus,don't forget that some animals also reappear on the 1st. Decimal coins.For example,the woodcock,which is depicted on the Farthing,also appears on the 50 Pence coin as well.The stag is the odd one out,as it only appears on the 1 Pound coin,plus on 2 Irish ECU medal-coins as well.
