The £ triplets arrived today - very impressed from Jony King. Spotted on eBay. Shame not on here to tag him, but hopefully he’ll join soon 👍 

Does he do other currency?

Funnily enough I have already asked if he could do some $’s to match! Said will look at again but is a bit trickier and would need to be larger (I’ve no problem with that 😂)

The colour certainly adds to that one.

Called the mint the next day ...sold out in one morning. Given there were 7500 at around £95 a pop. They netted around  £712,500k. Then the 500 limited £195 2oz. So another £97k... then there is the non silver coins. So probably close to £1million sold in a few hours... not bad for a mornings work eh’

This arrived today, a 1942 dated, Irish 1/2 Crown, second type, made of .750 silver.
A quite large coin the Irish Half Crown featured an Irish Hunter horse on the reverse, all Irish coins of this period had a national animal on their reverse, a Gaelic Harp featured on the obverse of all coins.
The 1/2 Crown was the highest denomination of coin that Ireland had during the pre decimal period, the first type of coin released was in 1928 and the harp separated the date with the century one side and the year the other, also on the reverse was the words Saorstat Eireann or 'Free State' , in 1939 there was a second type of coin released which had the date all in one area and the words Free State replaced with Eire or Ireland.
The mintage for these coins was very low, that combined with the high silver content meant that not many of these coins have survived in uncirculated condition, silver was used in circulation Irish coins until 1943, though very few were made that last year.
My coin while in mint condition with all its lustre looks to have a slight manufacturing fault, above the horse it looks like a rogue piece of silver got stamped into the coin with some other bits, perhaps this is why its in such good condition, was it put aside as a reject possibly ? it came from London where they were minted by the Royal Mint.
The production figures for the second type 1/2 Crown are as follows, as can be seen, each year production got lower and lower,

1939,   888,000
1940,   752,000
1941,   320,000
1942,   286,000
1943,   1,000

 

Some extra information for you.

It's certainly different to most coins, I'm pretty sure it's a restrike, the interweb is pretty unclear about this coin from what I've read

2010 Silver Proof 1oz Kangaroo at Sunset

This gem is my tenth of twelve needed for a complete set and is the last of the three such proof designs. It is the rarest "Sunset" with just 3,500 of the 5,000 limit actually minted.

The condition is pretty-much immaculate and has been captured extremely professionally by @CadmiumGreen without the need to open the capsule. The detailing on the kangaroo itself is exquisite.

Lovely sunset roo and fabulous photos. 🇦🇺

I believe the 2009 F12 proof sunset roo is the lowest actual mintage, followed by the carded 2009 F12 Unc roo, these are generally the most sought after coins in auctions 

edit: I stand corrected! After many checks seems (drumroll) we can't be sure which one it is with the lowest mintage - RAM data is lacking! However, it's not 2009 - that much is now certain 😅
