| Obverse description | The obverse features the traditional Irish Brian Boru harp, the national symbol of Ireland, rendered in fine relief at the centre of the field. The harp is depicted with intricate detail on its soundboard and neck, consistent with the standard Irish state coinage design. The country name ÉIRE appears on the left side of the field in large spaced Latin characters, while the date 2018 is inscribed on the right, both running vertically along the inner rim. The polished proof field provides a mirror-like background that accentuates the frosted relief of the harp. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic portrait of Irish blues-rock guitarist Rory Gallagher, shown in three-quarter view playing his iconic electric guitar, with long hair and an expressive performance pose rendered in frosted relief against a polished field. Behind the figure, a stylised world map with concentric radio-wave or sound-wave arcs radiates outward, symbolising his global musical influence. A vinyl record motif at centre bears the inscriptions referencing two of his tracks: '1. GOING TO MY HOME TOWN' and '2. IN YOUR TOWN', along with the designation 'ST 33' and 'DOG BLUES'. The legend RORY GALLAGHER appears in bold raised lettering across the upper field, and the denomination 15 EURO is inscribed along the lower right rim. |
