About us

The Central Bank of Ireland (as agent for the Minister for Finance) is the sole body with the statutory authority to issue legal tender in Ireland, in the form of circulating and commemorative coin. Irish collector coin products are issued to celebrate and pay tribute to figures of national importance and to commemorate significant events in Irish history. Typically four to five new products are launched each year.
