Coin to mark the anniversary of the Easter rising in Ireland.

The second coin I hold on the 1916 proclamation is of Padraig Pearse. A previous coin with Michael Collins was done a couple of week ago. I only hold two of these coins out of the seven. You can also get a Gold coin the collection too. I think this also is only gold plated.

The Coin comes in a commemorative folder with a Quote from Padraig Pearse on the inside.

If you strike us down now we shall rise again and renew the fight. You cannot conquer Ireland. You cannot extinguish the Irish passion for freedom. If our deed has not yet been sufficient to win freedom, then our children will win it with a better deed.

Inside on the cover is the quote above. I enlarged the image so it might be readable. There is also some history of the time, though the camera flash does hide some of the words in one or two paragraph.


Inside cover.

So to the coin.

The back of the coin is the same as on the Micheal Collins coin. Displaying the Faoi Mhoid Bheith Saor (Sworn to be Free). It will be the same for all seven coins and the gold I am assuming.


Padraig Pearse coin.

The front holds an Image of Padraig Pearse and the Sword of Light. Maybe meant to represent the vision of Freedom held for Irish people. If I was a conspiratist, I would say the iluminati get everywhere.

The last page of the folder shows a list of the7 people who signed and a brief transcript about them.

The other 5 signatories are not as well known as Micheal Collins and Padraig Pearse. Though they all played equally vital roles in gaining freedom.
