Please check that date again. Ireland (Eire in Gaelic) did not use decimal denomination coins until 1970, and in any case, the country was under British rule in 1861 so a coin from that date would not have its inscriptions in Gaelic.

Look at the coin again"Eire" is read while it is at the top of the coin. If you rotate the coin so that the numbers are at the top you will see that the date is actually "1981".

The Irish (or Eire) 50 Pence coin was not introduced into the currency until 1970.
