Product Description
This is the fourth and last BU set of the series with the subject of Ireland and its waters. The theme of the BU set Ireland 2017 is Irish lighthouses and the Irish Coast Guard. This BU set commemorates the vital work done by the Irish Coast Guard and Irish Lighthouses. At the beginning of this year, unfortunately, the crash of the Rescue Helicopter EI-ICR, with the entire crew Rescue 116 being killed, was a huge loss. It has been decided that part of the yield of the BU set of Ireland 2017 will be donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Ireland has a total of 78 lighthouses! On the face of the BU set Ireland 2017 is the Loop Head lighthouse, located in County Clare in the South East of Ireland on the Irish Sea. On the inside of the BU set is an image of the magnificent Fanad lighthouse, located in the north of Ireland on the Atlantic Ocean. Several Irish lighthouses have been converted into hotels! In this BU set the complete series of Irish 2017 Euro coins (i.e. 1 cent the normal 2 Euro) are pac kaged. The issue of the BU set Ireland 2017 is limited to only 8,000 copies.
