Coin Ireland EURO Coin Set - 1 Cent to 2 Euros - 2012

The Ireland 2012 UNC Euro coin set contains all eight euro denominations, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros. The coins are presented in their Uncirculated (UNC) quality, which indicates that they were struck with special care and have a higher brilliance than ordinary circulating coins.

Each coin has distinct characteristics in terms of size, weight and composition. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins are generally made of copper-covered steel, giving them a reddish color. The 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made from an alloy called "Nordic gold", which gives them a golden color. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic, combining two different alloys: a central part and an outer ring.

The Irish national design, common to all denominations, represents the Celtic harp, a traditional symbol of Ireland. The harp is accompanied by the name of the country, "Éire", and the year of issue, "2012". The coins also feature the twelve stars of the European flag, symbolizing the unity and integration of Europe.

The set has been specially designed to protect and showcase the coins. It offers a neat presentation of the complete series of Irish euros from 2012, making it an attractive collector's item for numismatists and collectors interested in the monetary history of Ireland and the Eurozone.
