The Central Bank of Luxembourg (BCL) is putting into circulation a 2 euro commemorative coin, dedicated to the Grand Ducal dynasty. The coin is a legal tender throughout the Eurozone. A circular inscription HENRI Grand-Duc de Luxembourg surrounds the effigy and the monogram, with an indication of the issuing state LËTZEBUERG and the year 2004. The obverse bears the effigy of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Henri and his monogram H, surmounted by the Grand Ducal crown.

A special featureabout the design is that the monogram ‘H’ and the Grand Ducal Crown are built up out of small letters ‘H’. This unique technique, which is based on banknote production technologies, is completely new in the coin world and has been used with this specific coin for the very first time in coin history. The reverse of the coin is common to all 2 euro coins.

The coin is legal tender in the euro area as from the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The quality of the coin is uncirculated (UNC).
