The Irish 2 euro coin features the traditional national emblem of Ireland, the Celtic harp, which has served as a symbol of the nation for centuries. This iconic motif is rendered with intricate detail, reflecting the country's deep-rooted musical and cultural heritage. Surrounding the harp are the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and cooperation of the member states. The design also incorporates the year of issue and the word 'EIRE', the Irish name for Ireland, written in a distinctive Gaelic script. This standard circulation issue maintains the consistent design that has represented Ireland within the Eurozone since the introduction of the currency. The coin was issued in 2025.
