The sixpence (6d; Irish: réal or reul [ɾˠeːlˠ]) coin was a subdivision of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1⁄40 of a pound or 1⁄2 of a shilling. The Irish name réal is derived from the Spanish real; for most of the 19th century, a pound sterling was equal to five U.S. dollars, and a dollar was equal to eight reales, so that a real was equal to 1⁄40 of a pound. The variant spelling reul was used in the Coinage Act 1926, and appeared on the coins themselves even after a 1947 spelling reform established réal as the standard.

  • La moneda de seis peniques (6d; en irlandés, réal ​ o reul [ɾˠeːlˠ]) era una subdivisión de la libra irlandesa predecimal, con un valor de 1⁄40 de libra o 1⁄2 chelín.​ El nombre irlandés réal se deriva del real español; Durante la mayor parte del siglo XIX, una libra esterlina equivalía a cinco dólares estadounidenses y un dólar equivalía a ocho reales, para que un real fuera igual a 1⁄40 de libra. La variante ortográfica reul se utilizó en la Ley de acuñación de monedas de 1926, ​ y apareció en las propias monedas incluso después de que una reforma ortográfica de 1947 estableciera réal como el estándar . ​ La moneda se acuñó originalmente en níquel, como la moneda de tres peniques, y se usaba muy bien. El metal se cambió a cuproníquel en 1942, cuando el níquel aumentó de valor; esta moneda, que constaba de un 75% de cobre y un 25% de níquel, no se desgastaba tanto. La moneda medía 0,825 pulgadas (21,0 mm) de diámetro y un peso de 4,53593 gramos. Se acuñaron cinco monedas tempranas con un diseño de Publio Morbiducci, que representan la cabeza del lobero irlandpes mirando hacia atrás; estas monedas son bastante valiosas, estimadas en varios miles de euros⁣; permanecen en manos de los coleccionistas y nunca se pusieron en circulación. El diseño general de la moneda fue del artista inglés Percy Metcalfe. Sus diseños habían sido seleccionados por un panel de los presentados por varios escultores que habían sido invitados a crear diseños para la acuñación del nuevo Estado Libre de Irlanda. El resumen para el diseño de los seis peniques fue que presentara un perro lobo irlandés. El anverso presentaba el arpa irlandesa. De 1928 a 1937, la fecha se dividió a ambos lados del arpa con el nombre Saorstát Éireann dando vueltas. De 1938 a 1969 la inscripción cambió a Éire a la izquierda del arpa y la fecha a la derecha. ​ Algunos han sugerido que el perro representado es Master McGrath, un famoso galgo criado en el condado de Waterford. Aunque el friso de Master McGrath en el monumento de Master McGrath en Waterford, el único monumento público en Irlanda a un galgo, ​ tiene cierta similitud con el diseño de Metcalfe, no hay evidencia que sugiera que el animal en la moneda es algo diferente que un perro lobo, ya que los galgos no son nativos de Irlanda. Se esperaba que esta moneda circulara junto con las nuevas monedas decimales, con un valor de 2 1⁄2 nuevos peniques como en el Reino Unido. Con esto en mente, el Banco Central de Irlanda continuó acuñando la moneda, la última vez en 1969, mientras acuñaba monedas decimales. Sin embargo, la moneda terminó siendo retirada, y nunca se convirtió en una moneda basada en decimales; sigue siendo la última moneda predecimal que sale de la producción. En 1990 se anunció que el centavo decimal sería rediseñado para incorporar el diseño del perro lobo, ​ pero este plan fue abandonado ante la inminente adopción del euro. (es)
  • The sixpence (6d; Irish: réal or reul [ɾˠeːlˠ]) coin was a subdivision of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1⁄40 of a pound or 1⁄2 of a shilling. The Irish name réal is derived from the Spanish real; for most of the 19th century, a pound sterling was equal to five U.S. dollars, and a dollar was equal to eight reales, so that a real was equal to 1⁄40 of a pound. The variant spelling reul was used in the Coinage Act 1926, and appeared on the coins themselves even after a 1947 spelling reform established réal as the standard. The coin was originally struck in nickel, like the threepence coin, and was very well wearing. The metal was changed to cupronickel in 1942 as nickel increased in value; this coin, which consisted of 75% copper and 25% nickel, was not as well-wearing. The coin measured 0.825 inches (21.0 mm) in diameter and a weighed 4.53593 grams. Five early coins were minted featuring a design by Publio Morbiducci, which depict the Wolfhound's head looking back; these coins are quite valuable, estimated at several thousand euro – they remain in the hands of collectors and were never released to circulation. The general design of the coin was by English artist Percy Metcalfe. His designs had been selected by a panel from those submitted by a number of sculptors who had been invited to create designs for the coinage of the new Irish Free State. The brief for the design of the sixpence was that it feature an Irish Wolfhound. The obverse featured the Irish harp. From 1928 to 1937 the date was split either side of the harp with the name Saorstát Éireann circling around. From 1938 to 1969 the inscription changed to Éire on the left of the harp and the date on the right. It has been suggested by some that the dog depicted is Master McGrath, a famous coursing greyhound raised in County Waterford. Although the frieze of Master McGrath on the Master McGrath monument in Waterford, the only public monument in Ireland to a greyhound, does bear some similarity to Metcalfe's design, there is no evidence to suggest that the animal on the coin is anything other than a wolfhound, as greyhounds are not native to Ireland. It was expected that this coin would circulate alongside the new decimal coins, with a value of 2+1⁄2 new pence as in the United Kingdom. With this in mind the Central Bank of Ireland continued to have the coin minted, last dated 1969, while minting decimal coins. However, the coin ended up being withdrawn instead, never to become a decimal-based coin; it remains the last pre-decimal coin to come off the production run. In 1990 it was announced that the decimal penny would be redesigned to incorporate the wolfhound design, but this plan was abandoned in the face of the imminent adoption of the Euro. (en)
