Overview

Features the traditional Irish harp (cláirseach) on the obverse surrounded by the 12 stars of the European Union, with the word 'ÉIRE' and the year of minting. The reverse shows a map of Europe.

Historical significance

The harp is the national symbol of Ireland, dating back to the Middle Ages. This design was chosen for Ireland's entry into the Eurozone and has appeared on all Irish Euro coins since their introduction in 2002.

Estimated value

$1.09 - $3.00 (Face value is approximately 1 Euro; value depends on circulation and year)

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-quality coin holder or sleeve. Do not clean with harsh chemicals, as this can reduce numismatic value.
