Irish 2p Decimal Coin

The design is based on the 2p coin, which was introduced with decimalisation in 1971. It was made in bronze.

The coin was designed by the Irish artist Gabriel Hayes and the design is adapted from the Second Bible of Charles the Bald (Holy Roman Emperor 823 - 877AD), held at Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris.

The coin was 1/50 of an Irish Pound and was withdrawn on the advent of the Euro.

Olwen

Daugher of the gian Ysappaden, Olwen was loved by Culhwch, one of King Arthur's warriors. However the giant was upset by this match and set his daughter's lover a series of tasks to prevent the marriage.

Culhwhc had to uproot a forest, burn the wood for fertilizer and plough the cleared land in a day; force the god of agriculture, Amaethhon, to nourish its crops: make the smith god, Govannon, forge tools for the work; obtain magic seed; provide honey nine times sweeter than that of a virgin swarm; borrow the magic harp that played itself from Teirtu; capture the birds of Rhiannon, whose song could wake the dead and lull the living to sleep; obtain a boar's tusk for the giant to shave and shaving cream made from witch's blood. He did all these things, and more, to win Olwen.
