About the 1928 Ireland Feoirling / ¼ Pingin
The Feoirling, or ¼ Pingin, minted in 1928, holds a notable place in Irish numismatic history as it was among the first coins issued by the newly established Irish Free State, symbolising the country's economic independence. Struck at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, London, this bronze coin features a design that reflects Ireland's agricultural heritage, with a depiction of a sheaf of wheat on the reverse side, representing prosperity and growth. The circulation condition of many surviving examples allows collectors to appreciate the craftsmanship and historical context without the premium often associated with rarer coins, making the Feoirling an accessible yet meaningful addition to any numismatic collection focused on Irish currency.
