@peterjhalford , shouldn't the New Pence from 1968 to 1981 be in a sub-section separate from the Pence dated from 1982 onwards?
A similar thing applies to the Naye Paise from 1957 to 1963 being separate from the Paisa since 1964 for India.

It's still pound sterling. Just the legend of the coins were different. They weren't worth a different amount. Same currency.
The Pound Sterling was still the Pound Sterling from 1707 to 1971 in its pre-decimal form.
Both the U.K. & Ireland were unique in revaluing 1 Shilling as 5 New Pence & 2 Shillings as 10 New Pence.
The New Pence was used to avoid confusion with the old pre-decimal Pence.
The Pound stayed the same - only what made up the Pound changed from 15 February 1971.
