Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Euro coin from Ireland made between 2002 and 2006 is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture. The coin's outer ring depicts a stylized map of Europe, while the inner circle features an image of a harp, which is a traditional Irish symbol. The harp is also a nod to Ireland's rich musical heritage. Additionally, the coin's bimetallic composition, which includes a nickel brass clad nickel center in a copper-nickel ring, makes it stand out from other coins in circulation.
