Ireland 1961 Half Crown Mule

1961 Half Crown Mule

Regular (non mule) Reverse

Interesing ‘mule’ variety. About 50,000 half crowns were struck with the reverse die used from 1928 to 1937. Can be identified using the following criteria:

• The OI of COROIN are close together on the mule.
• The PM below the rear hoof of the horse is largely to the left of the hoof on the mule.
• The d on the 2s6d has an open loop on the mule.
