Description: This monochromatic deep violet postage stamp highlights the Claíomh Solais, or Sword of Light, a legendary weapon from traditional Irish mythology. The central vignette features a clenched hand grasping the hilt of a glowing, double-edged sword, tilted diagonally within an oval medallion that radiates intense sunburst streaks. Curving over the top edge of this oval is the Irish phrase "An Claíomh Solais" in fine uncial lettering. The background composition is filled with complex, interwoven Celtic zoomorphic knots, topped by a horizontal banner reading "Éire". The lower margin displays the denomination text "cúig phinsine" nestled between two white squares showcasing the numeral "5".
