There have been three sets of coins in Ireland since independence. In all three, the coin showed a Celtic harp on the obverse.The pre-decimal coins of the Irish punt had realistic animals on the reverse; the decimal coins retained some of these but featured ornamental birds on the lower denominations; and the euro coins used the common design of the euro currencies.
The same harp is used as on the official seals of the Taoiseach, and government ministers and the seal of the president of Ireland. The coins' design also features the 12 stars of the EU, the year of issue and the Irish name for Ireland, "Éire", in a traditional Gaelic script.
Coin of King "Sihtric" of Dublin (r. 989–1036– ) Hiberno-Norse coins were first produced in Dublin in about 997 under the authority of King Sitric Silkbeard.The first coins were local copies of the issues of Aethelred II of England, and as the Anglo-Saxon coinage of the period changed its design every six years, the coinage of Sitric followed this pattern.
The design has been used as the seal of the Central Bank of Ireland since 1963. The €15 coin was produced with the permission and co-operation of the Meštrović Foundation in Croatia. In addition to the 8,000 individual €15 coins issued, a double proof coin set, limited to 2,000 sets, was also issued.

A coin weight for a moidore, indicating a sterling value of 27 shillings. Moidores circulated widely in England and her colonies, although the coin colloquially known as the moidore was in fact the double moidore.
