Coins of Ireland

Ireland
Europe

The Government of Ireland decided on a single national design for all Irish coin denominations. They show the Celtic harp, a traditional symbol of Ireland, decorated with the year of issue and the inscription «Eire» — the Irish word for Ireland. The harp shown was designed by Jarlath Hayes.

Edge lettering of the €2 coin: 2**, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.
