The Irish 2 euro coin features the national emblem of Ireland, the Celtic harp, which has served as a symbol of the nation for centuries. This elegant instrument is depicted on the obverse side, accompanied by the traditional name of the country, 'Éire', and the year of issue. The harp design is a classic representation of Irish cultural identity, reflecting a heritage that spans from medieval times to the modern era. Alongside the harp, the twelve stars of the European Union encircle the central motif, symbolising the unity and harmony of the continent. This standard circulation coin is issued in 2019.
