Central bank launches coins to mark JFK anniversary

The Central Bank of Ireland has launched two collector coins to mark the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s visit to Ireland.

A €10 silver proof coin and a €20 gold proof coin have both been issued.

The coins feature an iconic portrait of John F. Kennedy, the first President of the United States to appear on an Irish coin.

The silver coin is available individually and both coins are available as a set.

The coins were designed by Tom Fitzgerald and have an issue limit of 35,000 units.
