The Central Bank of Ireland’s limited edition ‘silver proof collector coin’ celebrating renowned Irish designer and architect Eileen Gray [1878 – 1976].
The first women to be commemorated on an Irish coin apparently.
Yours for 60 large.
FIGHT!

Is this legal tender?
Be quite impressive to pay for a bag o cans with it
Dunno, but those commemorative stamps from An Post were beautiful!
What be on the flip side?
A bit on the side of the coin that’s visible… http://antiquesandartireland.com/2011/03/gray-gourdon-christies/
“The visionary designs of Irish designer Eileen Gray captivated the imagination of many during the public viewings at Palais de Tokyo. Gray’s black-lacquered ‘Brick’ screen circa 1922 made €1,353,000.”
6 Linden Village please and thank you
How do they justify charging €60 for a €10 coin?
Limited edition, mint condition, intricate design, beautifully packaged and protected, price includes delivery…
I don’t work for CBI, but I’ve bought theses kind of coins from them before and if you collect, they’re lovely to have. (Christmas sorted for the aul fella who loves them!)
The design cannot add value to it, just in the same way as the design of the €1 coin does not make it worth €6. Likewise mint condition – I’ve got a new €2 coin here. I’ll sell it to you for €10.
So that leaves €25’s worth max., then.
OK let’s scrap the whole commemorative coin thing. Jesus…
did you ever read the Rosie Project?
Snowflake Feminists and Maginas diving into Google to see who their new hero is and what’s she’s renowned for.
I just got a complete line on Eamonn Clancy BETA BINGO!! Could have had a full house if you’d shoehorned Trump in, so you’ll have to try harder next time.
Maybe I just don’t appreciate artsy chairs enough but its she really that significant? My real hero is the other Eileen Gray, the legend cyclist http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11624291/Eileen-Gray-cyclist-obituary.html
Eamonn, sweetheart, do you mean ‘manginas’? If so, why deploy the lyrical beauty of TJ Hicks from Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo in support of manrage?
Not commemorative as such, but certainly not the first woman on an Irish coin…
