This is a commemorative 10 shilling piece issued in 1966 on the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1916.
Many of these coins (1,270,000) were melted by the Central Bank around decimalisation in 1971 and many more were melted privately when the price of silver was very high in 1980/81.
这枚硬币是纪念1916年的复活节起义50周年日，值得注意的是约1270000枚硬币于1971年被回炉，同时又有部分的被私人融铸为银制品，所以存世量少了许多。
1966 发行量 2000000，proof 20000.
