ÉIRE (Ireland) first issued in December 1922 and continued into 1923 this standard definitive design for several decades. It featured a map of the island of Ireland, which at the time of design did not include a border for Northern Ireland. This James Ingram design was the first Irish stamp printed, following the overprinting of British stamps. It included zoomorphic ornamentation, shamrocks, and an arch over the map. "1 pingin and 2 pingin" (1 and 2 penny) is written in Gaelic script at the bottom.
