Description: | White metal disc. A disc of stamped and pressed lightweight metal, probably aluminium, with the circumferential legend: REPUBLIC OF IRELAND. The centre of the disc has been neatly cut out to leave six triangular flaps which have been folded back to form a Star of David on the reverse of the object [as made]. Possibly a keepsake, but more likely a casual and ephemeral reuse of the metallic seal from a container for a liquid such as motor oil. The Republic of Ireland formally adopted that title in 1949. Suggested date: Modern, 1950-2000.Diameter: 21.9mm, Thickness: 0.4mm, Weight: 0.57gms.
