Central Bank of Ireland to reissue Philip Lynott commemorative silver coin.

Following the issue of the Commemorative Phil Lynott coin on 26 November 2019, which sold out on the day of issue, it left supporters like me and many others of Philip Lynott and Thin Lizzy disappointed we were unable to secure one. The demand for the coin was so high it caused the Central Bank systems to crash. This kind of thing is understandable considering the limited run of only 3,000 coins. Surely this has shown the Central Bank that there is demand for these coins and we call on the Central Bank to make a further issue of the coins so that we supporters can purchase such a special coin that commemorates a man and band that means so much to us. What has left us feeling angry and disappointed, is some of these coins are already on eBay with asking prices of £500+!
