| Obverse description | Central device depicting two clasped hands in a handshake, symbolising accord, with a caduceus — the winged staff entwined by two serpents — rising above them, and a balance scale suspended from each side of the handshake. The entire central motif is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself framed by a wreath of laurel branches meeting at the base. The legend NORTHERN IRELAND arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capital letters. |

| Additional information |
Northern Ireland was never assigned an official euro pattern series — this piece belongs to a wave of privately produced or speculative fantasy issues that circulated among collectors in the mid-2000s, capitalizing on ongoing debate about UK euro adoption. Westminster never seriously progressed toward eurozone entry during this period, and the Royal Mint produced no sanctioned euro trial pieces for any of the home nations. Treat the issuer attribution skeptically.
