First issued in 1928, last struck in 1968, it ceased to be legal tender on 31st December 1971
The Penny was the third smallest denomination of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1/240 of a pound or 1/12 of a shilling. 
The coin measured 1.215 inches (30.9mm) in diameter and weighed 9.45grams. The bronze coin was made up of 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc
The reverse of the penny was designed by artist Percy Metcalfe. It featured a hen and five chicks and the coin's Irish name. The obverse featured the Irish harp. From 1928 to 1937 the date was split either side of the harp with the name saorstát éireann circling around. From 1938 to 1968 the inscription changed to éire on the left of the harp and the date on the right
