The State’s commemorative €2 coin to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.

Designed by Emmet Mullins who sez:

“The coin features  a depiction of the statue of Hibernia on top of the GPO where she has witnessed the events of 1916 and watched the growth of a nation since the Rising”…

Coin in its own presentation case yours for a greasy till fumbling €15.

RISE!
