<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 128814, member: 39&quot;]If you go to the Irish central bank&#039;s website <a href="http://www.centralbank.ie/frame_main.asp?pg=ncn_comm.asp&amp;nv=ncn_nav.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.centralbank.ie/frame_main.asp?pg=ncn_comm.asp&amp;nv=ncn_nav.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.centralbank.ie/frame_main.asp?pg=ncn_comm.asp&amp;nv=ncn_nav.asp</a> and click on a picture, a window with a larger image will pop up. But you are right, especially with the gold coin even the large image does not show the details very well.</p><p><br /></p><p>And here are some more detailed pictures of the gold coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.muenzenmagazin.de/startseite0603/img/beckett-vs-160.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.muenzenmagazin.de/startseite0603/img/beckett-rs-160.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Larger images of the silver coin ...</p><p><a href="http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir10silber_908.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir10silber_908.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir10silber_908.jpg</a></p><p>... and the gold coin:</p><p><a href="http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir20gold1_125.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir20gold1_125.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismatico.de/files/ir20gold1_125.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The actual sizes differ widely: The diameter of the silver coin is 38.6 mm, that of the gold coin is only 13.3 mm. The design is the same for both coins, except that the silver piece is part of the euro/star series. So the €10 coin has that mark at the bottom, the €20 does not have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
