The Central Bank of Ireland has launched a striking new two-euro commemorative coin to celebrate U2, marking half a century since the band first formed in 1976. Featuring an intricate portrait of band members Adam Clayton, Bono, The Edge, and Larry Mullen Jr. designed by Shaughn McGrath, the currency was officially unveiled during a special ceremony at the Little Museum of Dublin with Larry Mullen Jr. in attendance.
What began as a handwritten notice posted on a school board on Dublin's North Side has since evolved into one of the most successful and enduring musical legacies in history. Over the past five decades, the trailblazing group has released fifteen studio albums, sold in excess of 175 million records worldwide, and claimed an unprecedented twenty-two Grammy Awards, cementing Ireland's reputation for exceptional creative talent on the global stage.
Collectors and fans can purchase the special release via the official collector coins website, with the currency available in both Brilliant Uncirculated and premium Proof formats. Further details and purchasing options are available on the official website.
