The legend EDDIE IRVINE · FORMULA ONE arcs around the upper periphery of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Eddie Irvine spent the 1996 Formula One season as Michael Schumacher's teammate at Ferrari, a supporting role that suited the Ulsterman poorly — he was openly combative with team management and frequently at odds with the strategic subordination the seat demanded. Liberia issued a wave of celebrity and motorsport commemoratives throughout the 1990s as a revenue mechanism, having little connection to the subjects honored.
