Jest to pamiątkowa moneta o nominale 10 szylingów wyemitowana w 1966 roku z okazji 50. rocznicy Powstania Wielkanocnego w 1916 roku.

Wiele z tych monet (1 270 000) zostało przetopionych przez Bank Centralny w związku z decymalizacją w 1971 roku, a wiele innych zostało przetopionych prywatnie, gdy cena srebra była bardzo wysoka w latach 1980/81.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

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.
