Euro coins set
The Government of 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
inscription "Éire" − the Irish word for Ireland. The harp shown was
designed by Jarlath Hayes. Edge lettering of the €2 coin: 2**, repeated six
times, alternately upright and inverted.
The euro coin series comprises eight different
denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent, €1 and €2. The euro coins have a
common side and a national side. The national side indicates the issuing
country. The common sides of the coins were designed by Mr Luc Luycx of the
Royal Belgian Mint.
They show images of the European Union or of
Europe and symbolise the unity of the EU. The 5, 2 and 1 cent coins show Europe
in relation to Africa and Asia on a globe.
