∙ 15y agoCoins with Éire on them are from the Republic of Ireland. If they are Euro coins, they can be used in any country that uses the Euro as its currency. If it is from before 2002 they are no longer in use, as the Euro started being used on Janary 1st 2002.I Many Irish people would have kept some of the old coins and notes, so they are far from being a rare item and of any real value as a collector's item.

∙ 14y agoÉire is the Irish language name for Ireland. You will see it on Irish coins and stamps. So a coin with Éire on it is from Ireland. The coin will also have a harp on it, which is the official symbol of Ireland.

∙ 12y agoA coin with Éire on it is from Ireland. Ireland uses the Euro as its currency since the 1st of January, 2002. Prior to that it used the punt. Coins before and after the 1st of January 2002 issued in Ireland have Éire on them, and Ireland's national emblem, the harp. So Éire coins are in circulation, but only the Euro ones and not the punt ones.

What is the value of an 1861 Eire 50 Pence coin?
Please check that date again. Ireland (Eire in Gaelic) did not use decimal denomination coins until 1970, and in any case, the country was under British rule in 1861 so a coin from that date would not have its inscriptions in Gaelic. Look at the coin again"Eire" is read while it is at the top of the coin. If you rotate the coin so that the numbers are at the top you will see that the date is actually "1981".
