| Obverse description | The obverse features a collage of Irish cultural and historical symbols within a bimetallic-style design. The central field depicts two coin-like roundels: one showing the Irish harp with the legend 'SAMUEL BECKETT 1906-1989' and 'ÉIRE 2003', the other showing a stylized face with the denomination '20' and stars. Surrounding vignettes include a cathedral, an equestrian statue, horse racing, a Guinness pint, ancient stone structures, and a reclining figure, all framed by a gold-toned border with stars. The legend 'IRELAND' arcs across the top. |
