| Obverse description | The field depicts two children shown as silhouettes, hand in hand, facing away from the viewer toward a stylised landscape of hills, water, and trees in low relief. Above them, the millennium logo incorporating the numerals '2000' rendered in an ornate Celtic-influenced script dominates the upper field, with the legend 'IRELAND' inscribed below it. |
