Official 1916 Easter Rising Commemorative Medal

Genuine official Irish Government issue 1916 Easter Rising Commemorative Medal (An Bonn Comórtha 1916) — a beautiful piece of Irish history, in excellent original condition.

This is the authentic commemorative version (produced from the 1960s onwards, most famously for the 50th anniversary), not a cheap replica or copy. It features:

- Bronze finish with natural aged patina (never polished or cleaned)
​
- Correct tricolour ribbon (green‑white‑orange)
​
- Bar engraved “De Cionn na hÉireann 1916” (“For the sake of Ireland 1916”)
​
- Original sunburst design with Irish script and national insignia
​
- Comes complete with its original dark green presentation case, lined in velvet/silk — perfect for display or safekeeping

It is in fantastic condition: all details sharp, ribbon bright and intact, no damage, scratches, or repairs. Plain edge (unnumbered), confirming it as the official commemorative issue — a meaningful collectible, ideal for anyone interested in Irish history, heritage, or militaria.

Note: This is not the rare numbered survivor medal (which sells for thousands), but a genuine official government‑issued commemorative medal — still a highly respected and sought‑after piece.
