Obverse description	The central field depicts a detailed relief of the General Post Office in Dublin, with a color-enamelled Irish tricolour flag overlaid across its facade. Below the building, the legend 'EASTER RISING CENTENARY' and date span '1916-2016' appear in relief. The outer border, finished in gold plate against a dark enamel ring, carries the commemorative legend above and 'IRELAND' below, separated by small star devices and framed by a beaded rim.
