Honouring the man responsible for one of the most famous novels of all time.
In 2017, Central Bank of Ireland released a limited edition €15 coin in honour of Sir Charles Algernon Parsons, the inventor of the steam turbine engine.
And they have done it again, this time with one of the greatest Irish authors of all time.
Abraham Stoker, better known as Bram Stoker, is the man behind the iconic novel Dracula, which was published in 1897 and is considered by many to be one of the most influential horror novels of all time.
So it makes perfect sense that they would release this limited edition coin on the weekend before Halloween.
What do you think? Looks pretty cool us.

The Bram Stoker festival kicks off on Friday as well, with 70,000 people expected to attend events over the coming days.
The festival lasts for four days, and takes place all throughout Dublin.
