Also, visitors are told that originally the amount of metal, usually silver, defined the coin\u2019s value. Like banknotes, they have no real value; only the face value assigned to them by the government. Also in this area is the 1926 Nobel Prize gold medal for literature awarded to countryman George Bernard Shaw.<\/p>\n<p>In the next room are Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins from the 9th century. One case shows that medieval traders counted their coins using a board marked in squares called a \u201ccasting board,\u201d a simple device that was a form of calculator like an abacus, whereby merchants could perform complex arithmetic calculations. Other displays illustrate hammered coins, milled coins and medals. A theater shows the movie, \u201cA Thousand Years of Irish Coinage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next room with eight wall displays covers the Irish period from 1450 to 1800. The common denominations during this period are shown with suitable specimens: crown, half crown, shilling, sixpence, groat, penny, and halfpenny. Despite repeated wars and rebellions, Ireland became more firmly tied to England. The coins people used reflected this political change and Irish coins gave way to standard English ones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-idfizb5-a51f9f4745825ada5c515adcfb736c2c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-idfizb5-a51f9f4745825ada5c515adcfb736c2c{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-idfizb5-a51f9f4745825ada5c515adcfb736c2c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-12ta3tfl-823d7bf8ed54a3ee5655803c8f27fb4b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>The Irish Halfpenny<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe Irish Halfpenny\u201ddisplay explains that throughout the 18th century, the distinctive Irish coin was the ubiquitous copper halfpenny as all the higher denomination silver and gold coins in circulation were standard British issues.<\/p>\n<p>On display are specimens representing \u201cgun money,\u201d town pence, varieties of tokens, and Dublin money, also known as \u201cInchiquin\u201d money.
