Is the Eire 20 Pence coin plated and with which metal I have a few Eire 20 Pence coins and some of them look like the plating has worn and they appear brown beneath?

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". The Irish (or Eire) 50 Pence coin was not introduced into the currency until 1970.

Most counterfeit coins would pass at a glance as the real thing, but on closer inspection, there will be something not quite right about them. They might be a little lighter in weight, the edges, especially on a 50 Pence coin might be a little irregular, the images on the coin may be a little comic or a bit clumsy in appearance, the front and back of the coin might be out of alignment, the lettering may be skewed or inconsistent.

The smaller (18 mm) coins from 1990 onwards are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 5 Pence.
