Coin Ireland EURO Coin Set - 1 Cent to 2 Euros - 2002

This numismatic set features the complete collection of Euro coins issued by Ireland in 2002, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros. Each coin is struck in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, meaning they have been produced with special care to offer a superior aesthetic appearance.

Ireland adopted the Euro as its official currency on January 1, 2002. The coins contained in this set testify to this economic and monetary transition. They all feature the Celtic harp, a traditional symbol of Ireland, as well as the year 2002.

The set includes the eight standard Euro denominations: 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 euro, and 2 euros. The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel. The 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are made of Nordic gold. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic.

The set is presented in a specially designed case to protect and showcase the coins. This set was issued in a limited edition of 20,000 copies, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Euro and specific issues from Ireland.

This 2002 BU Euro set represents a tangible testimony to Ireland's entry into the Eurozone and is a valuable addition to any collection of European coins.
