Ierland 2016

[euromunter]

Voor 2016 is er al een uitgifte bekend van Ierland! Het land zal dan haar eerste nationale 2 euro herdenkingsmunt uitgeven.

Tevens zullen er een zilveren en gouden verzamelaarsmunt komen met het thema "Paasopstand van 1916".

Central Bank of Ireland schreef:

Ireland will issue a €2 coin in 2016 to commemorate the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.

The only information I can give you at this moment in time is that whatever theme is decided upon will be carried through on a gold and silver commemorative coin too.

als ze dan eens een 2 euro herdenkingsmunt uitbrengen, dan zetten ze er in ieder geval vaart achter
mooie planning om alles begin maart op de markt te hebben.

Ik ben zeer benieuwd naar het ontwerp.

Press release - 10 September 2015
Central Bank unveils designs for 2016 Coin Programme

4.5 million €2 commemorative coins to be issued into general circulation in January 2016

The Central Bank of Ireland has today (10 September 2015) unveiled the winning designs for the 2016 coins to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising.

There are two designs. The first will be used on €2 coins to be issued into general circulation in January 2016. This circulating €2 coin will also be included in a proof set and an annual mint set. The second will be used for the Central Bank’s gold and silver proof collector coins which will be available in March 2016.

The winning designs feature depictions of the statue of Hibernia, the historic personification of Ireland, on top of the GPO in Dublin, the headquarters of the provisional government during the Rising.

This is the first time Ireland will issue its own commemorative €2 circulation coin and the design for this coin was by Emmet Mullins. The coin features a representation of Hibernia, the centenary dates and the name ‘Hibernia’ in hand-rendered lettering influenced by the Book of Kells.

The winning design for the proof silver and gold collector coins is by Michael Guilfoyle. His design commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, which was read by Patrick Pearse outside the GPO on 24 April 1916. On this coin Hibernia features along with an arrangement of key words and phrases from the Proclamation.

The obverse of the coin bears the traditional representation of the Irish harp and the year of issue date, 2016.

2016 €2 Proof Coin (Proclamation of the Irish Republic)

This limited edition €2 proof quality collector coin is issued in its own presentation case and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

This is a chance to own Ireland's first commemorative €2 coin in a high-quality proof. Proof coins are minted differently to a coin in general circulation, and are distinguishable by their defined, intricate and shiny appearance. To achieve this, the coins are struck twice during the minting process, are individually handled and protectively stored in order to prevent tarnishing. This is in comparison to general circulation coins which are struck once during the minting process, and are handled in bulk.

The designer of this coin, Emmet Mullins, describes the design as, “featuring 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”. The coin includes the centenary dates, and the name Hibernia in hand-rendered lettering influenced by the book of Kells.

This €2 proof coin has an issue limit of 20,000 pieces.
