Ireland 2023: The 50th anniversary of Ireland’s membership of the European Union

The design depicts a modification to the ‘EU50’ programme logo used by Government Departments to promote events marking the 50th anniversary of Ireland’s EU membership. The name of the issuing country ‘ÉIRE’ is inserted above the logo. The year ‘1973’ is referenced to recognise the year Ireland joined the EU as well as ‘2023’ to mark the coin issue year. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
