| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised Celtic currach under sail navigating open seas at center, evoking the legendary Atlantic voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator. To the left, a large whale breaches the surface of the water, a reference to the famous episode in the Navigatio Sancti Brendani in which the saint lands upon a whale mistaken for an island. To the right, an erupting volcano rises from the sea, recalling another episode from the saint's legendary journey. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed within the design. |
