A rare 1935 birthday gift made in Ireland

Choosing a gift by birth year gives it a personal connection. These 1935 Irish threepence cufflinks are made by hand in Dalkey, Co. Dublin, using genuine coins dated 1935: a thoughtful birthday idea for someone with a connection to that year.

Irish hare and harp designs

The pair brings together the Irish hare and Celtic harp, with the original date and Saor Stat inscription from the Irish Free State. You do not need to know the coin denomination to choose them: start with the birth year and the designs the recipient will enjoy wearing.

Made from rare year 1935 Irish threepence. 1935 was a low mintage year for threepence coins, making these cufflinks very rare.

Each pair comes in a silver-coloured presentation box. Browse the 1935 birthday gifts collection to see the matching-year pendant, or read the original 1935 history below.
