The word "eyrir" means "one cent". It was valued at 1/100 of an Icelandic krona.

The bronze coins were minted by Iceland before the drop of the currency's value made all aurar (cents) coins virtually worthless. The Iceland krona (100 aurar, 100 of the eyrir) is currently valued at about 1 US cent, more precisely 1/128 of a US dollar.
