Irish Patterns?

Anyone ever heard of the below? Anyone got pictures?

1995-97 3 Pc Proof Patterns in gold alloy. All are 25 ECU pieces with different obverse and reverse designs. The 3 coins feature sailing ship/Irish harp over seascape, harpist/nude Europa seated, and harp/tree shrew.

    I have heard of them but I don't have pictures. There is also others like a field mouse, a silver 25 ECU with a female harpist kneeling with Europa on the reverse.

    I don't think so Bill I think they were commemoratives. The 3 proof set you're talking about is hard to find and go for about $250-350 dollars if you can find one.image
