The world's most expensive gold coin ever to come to auction will go on display in Dublin today.

The 1933 Double Eagle coin is the most valuable half-ounce of gold in the world, which sold for $7.59m (€5.75m) in 2002.

It can be viewed today and tomorrow at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham as part of a European tour.
