The Irish 1930 Farthing coin was minted during a time of economic adjustment following Irelands independence in 1922. As a new nation, Ireland faced financial challenges, and the 1930 Farthing was made of bronze, a cost-effective metal. The coin’s design, featuring a hen and a basket of eggs, reflected agricultural themes significant to Ireland’s economy at the time, emphasizing rural life.
Politically, the Irish 1930 Farthing symbolized the countrys growing national identity. The design, along with the use of bronze, demonstrated Ireland’s independence from British coinage practices. The 1930 Farthing, as part of a new currency system, marked Ireland’s efforts to establish economic stability post-independence.
