It's very likely you have a coin from Ireland(Eire, which is Irish for Ireland). The harp is the national symbol of Ireland and each denomination has a different animal from Irish myth and lore. I'd have to look up which coin had the heron on it, but I'm sure I have one here some place. I don't know how much it's worth right now, either. I was wondering where you got it. If you'd like to sell it contact me. I collect foreign coins.

It's an Irish 1 penny(or pighne) coin. The 1 pound(or punt) coin has "£1" on it. Ãire is the Irish name for Ireland and the reverse of the coin depicts a stylized Celtic bird. The harp is used as the symbol of the Irish State, and has been used in the coat of arms of Ireland since medieval times.

An Irish pound. The initials aren't I and P, it's 1P, for one pound (or punt in Ireland).
