Limited edition 15 euro silver coin marking the 125th anniversary of the GAA
A limited edition €15 silver coin was launched on Tuesday to mark the 125th anniversary of the GAA.

The collector item features the association's crest and the image of a hurler.

Just 10,000 will be issued and will go on sale on Wednesday for €36 each from the Central Bank and the GAA museum and outlets across the Republic of Ireland.

Each coin will have a numbered certificate of authenticity highlighting its limited issue.

The GAA was founded on November 1 1884 at Hayes Hotel, Co Tipperary.

Events have been held around the country to mark the historic anniversary.

Last Friday, the Ulster GAA released 125 balloons to mark its foundation.

Clubs across Ulster have also been asked to fly special flags in November to highlight the anniversary.
