The Central Bank has launched the second of its €15 coins paying homage to previous coin designs – at a cost of €46.



The coin is emblazoned with the image of a salmon – a nod to the old Irish 10p coin.



12,000 pieces were issued for the coin which was designed by Emmet Mullins.



Last year the first of the €15 coins was issued. It was designed with the image of a horse, reminiscent of the old Irish 20p coin.



15,000 pieces were issued, with the coin retailing at €36.



The final €15 coin will be released next year.
