The proclamation read aloud by Patrick Pearse outside the GPO on Easter Monday 1916 was signed by seven men, all of whom were executed by British firing squad within two weeks of the Rising's failure. The rebellion itself lasted less than a week and was widely unpopular among Dublin's civilian population at the time — opinion shifted dramatically only after the executions, which the British military carried out with a speed that generated far more republican sympathy than the Rising itself had managed.
The 2016 centenary prompted an unusually large Irish state commemorative program. This silver issue is among the more restrained pieces from that series.
