U2 are among the most internationally renowned and influential musical groups to have emerged from Ireland. Founded in Dublin in 1976, the band has, over the course of five decades, established an enduring presence in the history of contemporary music, becoming one of Ireland’s most recognisable cultural icons.

This commemorative €2 coin marks the 50th anniversary of U2 and represents the first official €2 commemorative coin dedicated to the band. The issue pays tribute to their exceptional musical career, their contribution to Ireland’s cultural heritage and the lasting international impact of their music and live performances.

The coin was designed in close collaboration with U2 and commemorates a remarkable milestone in the band’s history. Its original line-up remains intact, reflecting the continuity and enduring character of a group that has consistently evolved while maintaining its distinctive artistic identity and international relevance.
