The Irish 2 euro standard circulation coin features the national emblem of Ireland, the Celtic harp, known as the Cláirseach. This iconic symbol has represented the nation for centuries, appearing on Irish coinage, official documents, and state seals throughout history. The design is encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union, symbolising the unity and cooperation of the member states. Below the harp, the name of the country is inscribed as ÉIRE, accompanied by the year of production. This elegant and enduring motif reflects Ireland's deep-rooted cultural heritage and its integration into the broader European community. The coin was issued in 2007 with a total mintage of 7,410,000 pieces.
