Answer 1

You don't mention if the coin has a year on it.  You may be able to find it on this web site. Good luck, sounds like an interesting coin.

Answer 2

well im 15 and i collect coins and does it have a date? cause the republic of ireland split up into 4 provinces and you have a coin of the EIRE province the coin should be from around the 1930-1940 or 50 time period im not so shure, so that coin is pretty old and the .999 means its 1ox.999 silver leaf grade, so its pretty much pure silver and its from the EIRE province from when ireland was divided   hold on to that coin its wort a qood penny lol take care man peace..... oh and how the h**l did it randomly end up in your home lol  

Answer 3
