Luxembourgish euro coins

Designs of Luxembourgish currency From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luxembourgish euro coins feature three different designs, though they all contain the portrait or effigy of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. The designs, by Yvette Gastauer-Claire, also contain the 12 stars of the European flag, the year of imprint and the name of the country in the Luxembourgish language: Lëtzebuerg.

The Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg appears on the coins facing to the left.[1] As he only became Grand Duke in 2000 following the abdication of his father, Jean, Henri was not featured on the Luxembourg franc, with the exception of a 500 francs commemorative coin minted in 7,500 copies to commemorate his accession to the throne.[2] Jean's portrait on the francs showed him facing to the right, and it is common in a number of countries for successive monarchs to alternate the direction they faced on coins.

With Grand Duke Henri due to abdicate on 3 October 2025, his effigy will be replaced by that of his successor, Guillaume, in 2026.[3]
