Wedding Card with Irish Free State Lucky Sixpence Nickel Coin for Bride's Shoe

Description: For the bride on her very special day. Present to her this lovely keepsake card, containing a genuine vintage Irish Sixpence coin from Ireland. Finding something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue is fairly simple to do; but finding a silver sixpence for her shoe can be much more difficult, since they have not been minted in over 45 years. Traditionally, a "silver" sixpence coin is given to the bride by her father and mother, but can also be given by another close friend or relative, the maid or matron of honor or a bridesmaid on her wedding day. As a good luck coin, the sixpence is said to bring the bride and groom a wealth of happiness and financial success. The coin is placed in the bride's left shoe before the wedding ceremony then put away for safe keeping afterward. This keepsake card cites the traditional Victorian wedding poem "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe," and explains briefly the history of the sixpence coins and when they were made, in addition to the history of the silver sixpence coins. With this card shown, we will enclose a genuine **nickel Irish sixpence coin with a random year of 1928, 1934 or 1935. Please email us before paying for your order if you would like a specific year. The obverse side will have SAORSTAT EIREANN (Irish Free State) and Irish Harp. The reverse side will have the Irish Wolf-hound and "6d" and "reul" (sixpence).
