  These are the official images released by the Central Bank of Ireland prior to the introduction of the coins. The quality of the 'Irish' obverse images is not great. I will be scanning some uncirculated examples to replace these in due course.

The coins were released to the public on December 14th 2001 in Euro Starter Packs at £5.00 each containing €6.35.

Each of the 12 countries issued similar packs but with differing amounts of Euros as the amount was based on a convenient total in the local currency e.g. 20DM in Germany and Pta2000 in Spain etc.

The coins began to circulate normally on Jan 1, 2002.
