Description
The ten pence (10p) (Irish: deich pingin) coin was a subdivision of the Irish Pound. It was used in the Republic of Ireland from 1969 to 2002, with its last minting issue in 2000. It replaced the Florin coin, introduced to the Irish Free State in 1928, of which it shared its design. Two different designs of the coin exist, both featuring a salmon on the reverse. The second was introduced in 1993 and is smaller, due to the reduction of the coin's value by inflation.
