2006 Annual Mint Set - Glenveagh National Park and Castle, Donegal.
The 2006 coin set for Ireland is the fourth in the Heritage Sites of Ireland series, and this set features the spectacular Glenveagh National Park and Castle, in Donegal.
Set in the wilderness of the Derryveagh Mountains in the North-West of County Donegal, Glenveagh Park comprises over 14,000 hectares. The park is home to many rare and interesting plants and animals and is famous for its fine herd of red deer. Recently Golden Eagles have been re-introduced to Glenveagh as part of the Golden Eagle re-introduction project. Glenveagh Castle was built in the late 1800’s and has 32 acres of castle gardens with a rich and varied plant collection.

The set contains each of the 8 euro coins in brilliant uncirculated quality and is presented in this very attractive and informative display.
Mintage : 40,000
