2 Euros 2nd map

Obverse description	The national obverse features the Celtic harp, Ireland's traditional symbol, centrally positioned in the inner disc. The Irish-language country name 'ÉIRE' appears as a legend to the left of the harp, with the year of issue inscribed to the right. The twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union are arranged in a continuous ring around the outer band, symbolising European unity. The design was executed by engraver Jarlath Hayes in a clean, uncluttered style consistent with Irish euro coinage.

Reverse description	The common European reverse, designed by Luc Luycx, displays the denomination '2 EURO' to the left of a stylised relief map of the European continent, rendered without internal national borders to emphasise continental unity. The map extends across the full surface of the inner disc and into the outer ring area, depicting Europe in a slightly off-centre perspective. Six fine lines transect the outer ring at regular intervals, and the designer's initials 'LL' appear to the lower right of the map. The twelve stars of the European Union are incorporated into the outer ring, interspersed with the fine line detailing.
