Estate summary

The Central Bank of Ireland announces a €15 silver proof collector coin honouring Bram Stoker and Dracula. Designed by David Rooney, the coin was issued in a limited edition of 3,000 and presented at Glasnevin Cemetery, where Stoker’s family connections formed part of the occasion. The release records the involvement of Sharon Donnery, Paschal Donohoe and Dacre, and explains how the design brings together the author and his best-known creation. It is a significant example of official Irish commemoration rather than a general vampire-themed product. The announcement dates from 26 October 2018: its sales arrangements and issue details are historical, and should not be read as an assurance that coins remain available today.
