Introducing the Gold and Silver Trees of Life: A New Era for Irish Bullion

In the ever-evolving world of numismatics and bullion, new treasures are emerging that are captivating collectors worldwide. Among these exciting new additions to the market are the Gold and Silver Trees of Life, the first Irish bullion products from Tara Coins, which are garnering enthusiastic reviews and sparking considerable interest in both the bullion and numismatic communities.

A Vision Realized

Behind these remarkable creations is Mark O'Byrne, the founder of Tara Coins and the visionary behind the Gold and Silver Trees of Life. With nearly two decades of experience in the bullion industry, Mark listened to the demand from Irish customers who longed for their own national bullion coins and medals, rather than having to buy South African, English etc coins. His passion for Irish history, culture, and spirituality drove him to fill this gap in the market.

The name Tara Coins itself is steeped in history and symbolism. Inspired by the Hill of Tara, the ancient and sacred seat of Irish High Kings for over 5,000 years, Tara Coins evokes a profound connection to Ireland's past. The brand symbolizes freedom, beauty, and abundance, encapsulating Ireland’s most cherished qualities.

A Journey of Discovery and Design

Mark embarked on an extensive journey of research, consulting leading experts in Irish and Celtic history, archaeology, mythology, and spirituality. Drawing from this rich tapestry of knowledge, he selected symbols that encapsulate the essence of Éire, the Gaelic word for Ireland. The Tree of Life, an Crann Bethadh, the rising sun, and the quintessential Irish and Celtic symbols of the Gaelic Harp and the Triskele were chosen to adorn these exquisite coins.

With the assistance of talented designers and minting experts, Mark meticulously crafted the designs, resulting in coins that not only serve as bullion but also tell the captivating story of Ireland. The intricate designs and symbols on the Gold and Silver Trees of Life coins have been met with awe and admiration from collectors.
