Mayo. Following this tragic event, the Central Bank received permission from the Minister for Finance to donate the proceeds from the sale of the Annual Mint Set to a charity selected by the Central Bank. As the 2017 Annual Mint set pays tribute to the Irish Coast Guard and Commissioners of Irish Lights, the RNLI has been selected to receive the proceeds of the 2017 Annual Mint set. The funds will be donated to the RNLI for use in Irish search and rescue projects.

Price: €29
