luke kelly 15 euro sliver

For sale here is one of the long awaited Luke Kelly Silver Proof Mint coins that sold out from the central bank. 
This highly collectable official coin is one of 3000 to comemerate probably our greatest folk musician. Would make an ideal Christmas present.

This coin is stamped as 2020, as this coin was supposed to be issued in 2020 but postponed, and although it was issued on the 24th October 2022, it is said to be a 2020 coin.

The coin features an image of Luke Kelly singing, in tribute to his distinctive voice, together with an impression of a banjo. The design by Mary Gregoriy was selected following a design competition. Ms. Gregoriy has previously designed commemorative coins featuring James Joyce (2013) and W.B. Yeats (2015) for the Central Bank. 


The coin is struck in .925 sterling silver to proof quality. It is the final coin in the “Modern Musicians” series of silver proof coins, which has previously featured Rory Gallagher and Phil Lynott and proven extremely popular.
