An Irish Threepence coin featuring a hare set in a silver plated finding with sterling silver chain. Enjoy plain with a high polish or customise with hand painted enamel. Finished with a resin coating. Reverse of coin not visible.

Similar in size to our modern 5p piece this coin features a hare with the words ‘leath reul’ meaning ‘half sixpence’. This unusual design would make an ideal birthday and special occasion gift for somebody who has everything, or indeed an animal lover! Struck in nickel and then later cupronickel.

Each necklace takes days to make with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. We only use genuine publicly circulated coins with every effort made to use those with minimal marking rejecting any that have become too worn by the hands of time. Finished necklaces may vary slightly from the images shown. Every one is handled carefully to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible.

Delivered in a branded box - upgrade to our luxury gift box for the perfect gifting experience.
