Ireland 2003 50 Cent Euro Coin
This is a 2003 circulating Irish 50 Euro Cent coin. It displays the classic Irish national emblem of the Brian Boru harp (Cláirseach) on the obverse face, which is the standard design for all Irish euro coinage denominations. The harp is flanked by the word 'éIRe' in Gaelic script on the left and the mintage year '2003' on the right. Surrounding the central motif are the twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union arranged in a circle. The coin is composed of Nordic Gold (a copper-based alloy of 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin), giving it a distinct golden-yellow brassy appearance. Physically, a standard 50 cent coin has a diameter of 24.25 mm and a weight of 7.8 grams. This specific specimen exhibits signs of moderate circulation, including small nicks, light scratches, and some surface oxidation or patina typical for brass alloys exposed to handling. The edge, though not clearly visible in the top-down photo, would feature a distinctive 'Spanish flower' shape with seven indentations. There are no obvious mint errors or rare markings visible, representing a standard mass-produced currency item from the early years of the Eurozone era.
