counterparty is an IOU issuer xrpl address. 

EUR is an IOU on the XRPL.

You can place an order to buy 50 EUR IOU issued by one entity with the total price to be paid of 50 EUR issued by another entity. 

I don't know many EUR IOU issuers, Gatehub is the only one I am aware of.

so, for Gatehub EUR, the counterparty probably would be rhub8VRN55s94qWKDv6jmDy1pUykJzF3wq
