| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the Brian Boru harp, Ireland's national symbol, depicted in finely detailed relief at the centre of the field, engraved by Percy Metcalfe after the historic Trinity College harp. The instrument is shown upright with elaborate decorative foliage and interlace ornamentation on the pillar and soundboard. The Gaelic legend 'EIRE' appears to the left of the harp and the date to the right, both reading upward along the coin's inner border. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ireland reduced the 10p from its original 28.5 mm diameter down to 22 mm in 1993, part of a broader rationalisation of the decimal coinage that had been circulating since 1971. The timing was practical rather than political — vending machine operators and retailers had been lobbying for lighter, smaller coins for years. The type had a short effective life: Ireland adopted the euro in 2002, and these were demonetised alongside the rest of the punt coinage.
