Coin Ireland EURO Coin Set - 1 Cent to 2 Euros - 2003

This numismatic set contains all the euro coins issued by Ireland in 2003, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros. The coins are presented in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality, which means they were struck with special care and have a higher shine than ordinary circulation coins.

Each coin complies with the standardized technical specifications for euro coins, both in terms of dimensions and composition. The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel, giving them a reddish color. The 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are made of Nordic gold, an alloy of copper, aluminum, zinc, and tin, giving them a golden color. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic: the 1 euro coin is composed of a cupronickel center and a nickel brass ring, while the 2 euro coin is reversed with a nickel brass center and a cupronickel ring.

All coins bear the Celtic harp, the traditional symbol of Ireland, on their national face. The country's name, "Éire", is also featured on each coin. The year of issue, 2003, is also visible on the national face. The common faces of the coins, meanwhile, feature the standardized designs used by all countries in the euro area, with the face value of each coin clearly indicated.

The set is specially designed to protect and showcase the coins. It provides a safe haven for the conservation of the coins, protecting them from handling and external elements. The set is intended for collectors and those interested in the monetary history of Ireland and the euro area.
