To commemorate the centenary of the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to the celebrated Irish author George Bernard Shaw, the Central Bank of Ireland is launching a commemorative silver coin with a face value of 15 euros and minted in Proof quality.
Born in Dublin in 1856, Shaw moved to London at age 20 and lived with his mother and sister with the intention of becoming a writer. As a child, he spent many hours wandering the halls of the National Gallery of Ireland, exploring the collection. The training in artistic style and art history he received through these visits aided him in his later work as an art critic, and the influence of this interest in art can also be seen in his plays. Initially, Shaw wrote five novels. While they were not successful, he managed to earn an income as an art critic.
His persistence eventually paid off with several successful plays, in which Shaw used his artistry and his newly acquired public recognition to express his unconventional and sometimes controversial views. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 for his work, marked by idealism and humanity, whose stimulating satire is often imbued with a unique poetic beauty. Shaw's Pygmalion was adapted into a film, and his screenplay earned him an Academy Award. It was later adapted into the popular Broadway musical My Fair Lady. As of 2016, Shaw was the only person to win both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award.
George Bernard Shaw died in 1950, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest writers of all time, with countless essays, five novels, and more than 50 plays.
The reverse of the coin features a profile of George Bernard Shaw next to an open book with his own handwritten signature and a laurel branch. Surrounding the writer's bust is the semicircular inscription "NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 1925," and at the bottom of the design, the face value "15 EURO."
The obverse of the coin features a central image of the official Irish harp emblem, along with the inscription of the issuing country "éɪʀe" (Ireland) and the year of issue "2025."
This new silver coin, as usual, is presented in a fine case along with its corresponding certificate of authenticity.
