These original Irish 3d (threepence) coins from 1966 have been handmade into charming cufflinks. The 3d coin was first issued in 1928 and used in circulation until 1971.

It was the 4th smallest denomination of the pre decimal pound. These cufflinks make a unique gift from Ireland and an ideal gift with the specific  year of 1966 - ideal to mark their Year of Birth - a 55th Birthday, their Wedding Anniversary or Graduation or any occasion. The coins have been cleaned and highly polished. You are buying a genuine piece of Irish history.
