The Irish Farthing was introduced in 1928, part of a new series of coins for the Irish Free State. It replaced British currency, symbolizing Ireland's independence. The farthing remained in circulation until 1969.

The Irish farthing's design featured a woodcock, representing Ireland's natural heritage. The obverse side displayed the Irish harp, a symbol of national pride. This design series used native animals to emphasize Irish identity.

Culturally, the farthing symbolized Ireland's autonomy during a time of national change. Its designs connected daily life to Ireland's landscape and wildlife. Despite its small value, it held sentimental significance for many Irish people.
