10 Euros Ha'Penny Bridge

The Ha'penny Bridge took its name not from affection but from the toll — a half-penny charged to cross it when it opened in 1816, a fee that generated enough resentment that Dublin Corporation eventually bought out the toll rights in 1919 just to be rid of it. The bridge itself was prefabricated in Shropshire by the Coalbrookdale Company and shipped to Dublin, making it one of the earlier examples of cast-iron infrastructure imported wholesale into Ireland.

This issue is part of Ireland's broader series commemorating Dublin landmarks, struck at the British Royal Mint under contract.
