Irish coin with horse

Hey everybody.  I'm a woodworker searching for Irish coins featuring a horse to use in some of my resin pieces.  The only one I've found so far is the 20 pence piece pictured below.  Does anyone know of Irish coins that feature a horse other than this one?  The one pictured will do but I'd like to have some other artistic options if they're out there.

Thank you.

The 20P is about your best option, there is also a 1690 crown and 15 Euro coins but they are WAY more expensive and harder to find. You'd have more options if you went with or included the harp. Many people also go for the "Barn Yard" set.

A horse was illustrated on Irish coins beginning with the first issues of the the Republic. The 20p is commonly available, but there are earlier designs. Photos should be available on the internet.

I like this one---a favorite show of mine from childhood.

If it has to be Irish, you're basically stuck with the 20p. The older half crown has the same design, but some are silver and cost more.

There also are animals on the other pence coins of the time period
