IRELAND. Plaster Models, ca. 1992-97.
Bruce-X41; cf.X1a.1. 3 pieces in lot. Possibly unique set of plaster models for Irish ECU patterns that were created in the mid-1990s. Grouping consists of 3 plaster galvanos of varying diameter. The most desirable being a matched pair (obverse and reverse) for the 1997 Ireland 25 Ecu as X-41. Also, a single unlisted galvano for what would have been the reverse of a gold 100 ECU, though it appears this same design was possibly used on lower denominations as described (no photo) in Bruce. The pieces have all different diameters, measuring between 196mm and 229mm each. The ECU was strictly a unit of accounting at the time and not a currency, though it was subsequently replaced by the Euro on a 1 to 1 basis in 1999. An unusual offering, with some evidence of mishandling resulting in minor chips to some of the design, but without major flaws. Inspection advised. SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS.
Estimate: $300.00- $500.00
