Starting this year, the Irish Central Bank will issue €15 collector coins commemorating Modern Irish Musicians. First coin in the series will commemorate Rory Gallagher who was born in 1948, thus 70 years ago. 3000 pieces will be struck in proof quality.

The series will continue till 2020, with Phil Lynott getting commemorated in 2019 and Luke Kelly in 2020.

Given Ireland's very conservative coin-issuing policies overall, new Irish commemoratives are always interesting. :)

I agree...Modern Irish € collector coins are surprisingly nicely designed!
