They say you can feel a nation's spirit in its coins — and there’s no better example than the Irish Half Crown.
Minted between 1928 and 1937, during the era of Saorstát Éireann (the Irish Free State), these coins symbolize Ireland’s first steps after gaining independence from British rule.
On one side: the ancient Irish harp, a symbol of pride and resistance dating back eight centuries.
On the other: the Irish Hunter horse, embodying strength, resilience, and the unbroken connection to the land.
This ring carries the story of a people who refused to be conquered — a story now forged into something you can wear.
The Half Crown was one of the first coins issued by the newly sovereign Irish government.
Each one:
Was struck in 75% pure silver
Featured national symbols rather than foreign monarchs
Represented not just currency, but cultural survival and national pride
Today, these coins are rare survivors from a critical turning point in Irish history — and now, reborn, they ride forward with you.
True Saorstát Éireann coins only — 1928–1937, no substitutes
Hand-selected for strong strikes and good surface detail
Forged by hand, preserving the original design, not stamped or cast
Sized to order — no mass production, no off-the-shelf shortcuts

You can choose a bright polished finish or an antiqued patina finish.
