The coin has a horse on one side and a harpe on the other. I think it says 20P, which may mean 20 pacos? Any ideas on what kind of coin and how old this would be?

Your coin will be Irish 2s6d- like this example

Thanks you triki. I deleted the second pic, it was a V-Nickle. I wonder what years they minted this coin. I have to clean it to see the date. I see a 19??.

 

[trikikiwi]

If you see the date all as one number it will be 1938 to 1969. If the date is split by the harp, then 1928 to 1937.

The coin is actually a 20 Pence, so its more modern than I thought. Great link Triki.
