The 2016 Ireland 2 euro commemorative coin marks the centenary of the Easter Rising, a pivotal event in the nation's struggle for independence. The design features the statue of Hibernia, the personification of Ireland, which stands atop the General Post Office in Dublin. This building served as the headquarters for the rebels during the 1916 uprising, making it the symbolic centre of the insurrection. The inscription '1916' appears to the left of the figure, while '2016' is placed to the right, framing the central motif with the dates of the anniversary. The name 'HIBERNIA' is also included in the design, reflecting the historical significance of the event in shaping the modern Irish state. This coin was issued in 2016 with a mintage of 4,500,000 pieces.
