The Luxembourg 2 euro standard circulation coin features the effigy of His Royal Highness Grand Duke Henri, who ascended to the throne in 2000. Designed by Yvette Gastauer-Claire, the portrait captures the Grand Duke in profile, facing towards the right. This design serves as a symbol of the constitutional monarchy and the continuity of the Luxembourgish state. Surrounding the portrait, the inscription 'LËTZEBUERG' and the year of issue are displayed, framed by the twelve stars of the European Union. This national motif represents the sovereign identity of the Grand Duchy within the eurozone, reflecting the nation's historical commitment to European integration and its unique political heritage. The coin was issued in 2003 with a mintage of 3,500,000 pieces.
