Obverse

The image of St. Patrick is imposed within the clover on the obverse of the 1 oz Silver St. Patricks Day Round. St. Patrick came from a Romano-Britain family and was born in Roman Britain in the late 4^th century CE. His father and grandfather were both active in the Christian church in Roman Britain, his father being a deacon and his grandfather a priest. He is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland and was said to have used the three-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Gaelic people. In this design, St. Patrick is imposed within the clover as the Harp of Ireland is present and the Old Irish term for the island, Eire, is inscribed in the lower right.

Reverse

For the reverse design of the 1 oz Silver St. Patricks Day Round, you will find a map of the island of Ireland. The second-largest island in the British Isles and the third-largest island in all of Europe, Ireland was historically split into four provinces. Those four provinces are represented here by a coat of arms over the region that each province encompasses. The names of the provinces are inscribed as Leinster, Munster, Connaught, and Ulster. Other markings include 1 oz and .999 fine Silver.

History

Much of St. Patricks background comes from his own writings in Declaration. He recorded being kidnapped at the age of 16 by Irish raiders and taken across the Irish Sea to Ireland as a slave. He reported spending six years there working as a shepherd before finding God and making his escape back to Britain. He returned later in life, after having become a priest, to spread Christianity to Ireland.
