Ireland

The Government in Ireland decided on a single national design for all Irish coin denominations.

They show the Celtic harp, a traditional symbol of Ireland, decorated with the year of issue and the word "Eire" - the Irish word for Ireland. The harp shown was designed by Jarlath Hayes.

Edge lettering of the 2 euro coin: 2 * *, repeated six times, alternately upright and inverted.
