| Obverse description | The Brian Boru harp, the national symbol of Ireland, is depicted in fine relief at the centre of the field against a mirror-polished background. The harp is rendered with intricate decorative detail on the neck and soundboard. The country name 'ÉIRE' appears in Gaelic-style lettering to the left of the harp, with the date '2020' arranged vertically to the right, both in large characters framing the central device. |

| Reverse description | A stylised portrait of folk singer Luke Kelly is depicted with eyes closed, his iconic curly hair and full beard flowing organically into decorative Celtic-inspired spirals that animate the field. A banjo, instrument closely associated with Kelly's performances, appears as part of the composition. A pair of theatrical masks, symbolising the performing arts, is also incorporated into the design. The reverse legend identifies the subject along with the denomination and his birth and death years. |
