Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each tile undergoes a process of hand-carving, pressing, and glazing, resulting in a uniquely precise creation that carries a touch of individuality. The artisanal nature of the crafting process may lead to slight variations in color.\n\nThese enchanting tiles make for an exquisite gift, particularly for coin collectors, and lend themselves beautifully when framed or used as accent pieces in a wall or art installation. The designs feature a series of animals significant to Ireland's agricultural economy and wildlife, reminiscent of Percy Metcalf's 1928 coinage style, expertly executed by Tomas Ryan.\n\nThe Hare - Threepence\nThe hare, a sacred and mystical symbol for the Celts, represents abundance, prosperity, and good fortune. The threepence coin, featuring the hare, was first struck in 1928.\n\nThe Salmon - Florin\nSymbolizing the importance of the fishing industry to the Irish economy, the florin coin showcases the salmon, representing both sea fisheries and freshwater game fishing. The florin was first struck in 1928.\n\nThe Pig - Halfpenny\nDepicting a sow with piglets, the halfpenny coin reflects the significance of pigs in Irish rural life. Families often kept a pig fed on kitchen refuse and scraps. The halfpenny was first struck in 1928.\n\nThe Red Deer - Pound Coin\nThe pound coin features an Irish red deer, designed in the style of Percy Metcalf's 1928 coinage. Executed by Tomas Ryan, this design captures the essence of Ireland's rich natural heritage.\n2.5\"  in Diameter\n0.39\" thickness (1cm)","brand":"Celtic Valley Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57010316017989,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/7520\/1861\/files\/04745877-il_fullxfull.5565017363_83oo.jpg?v=1769633845","url":"https:\/\/celticvalleyceramics.com\/products\/handcrafted-ceramic-irish-coin-tiles-animal-series-set-of-4","provider":"Celtic Valley Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
