The Irish predecimal series is full of animals - it's colloquially known as the "barnyard series". The farthing has a woodcock (a kind of bird), the halfpenny a sow with piglets, the penny has a chicken with chicks, the threepence a hare,the sixpence a dog, the shilling a bull (same design as the decimal 5 pence pictured by Georgie), the florin a salmon and the halfcrown a horse (like the decimal 20p pictured by Frank).

Unfortunately my Irish set is buried under a ton of stuff right now. If no-one else has posted them, I'll try to have some pics up by the weekend.
