The design features Irish soldiers in uniform, symbolizing peacekeeping service and international cooperation, alongside the prominent UN emblem. It highlights Ireland’s long-standing contribution to global peacekeeping efforts since 1958. The bilingual inscription reflects both English and Irish heritage, adding cultural depth. A meaningful thematic piece for collectors of military, UN, and modern commemorative issues.
