I've never seen a 1998 50p RIRA STAMPED. Where did you get it? How much did you pay for it?

 

I found it in my change .is it worth anything.i dnt no any thing about coins

 

That's a counter-stamp. Somebody stamped that on there. It's just considered damage. I haven't a clue what it stands for, if that's what you're asking.

 

I believe its something todo with the IRA

 

Well, the coin came from the region for that. Who knows?

 

Ok thanks

 

There is some info in another CT thread that may help

RIRA.. could be

Real Irish Republican Army. The Real Irish Republican Army or Real IRA (RIRA), is a dissident Irish republican paramilitary organisation which aims to bring about a united Ireland. It formed in 1997 following a split in the Provisional IRA by dissident members, who rejected the IRA's ceasefire that year.
