The 2004 Luxembourg 2 euro commemorative coin features the effigy of Grand Duke Henri, marking the first time the reigning monarch’s portrait appeared on this denomination for the Grand Duchy. The design displays the profile of the Grand Duke looking towards the right, positioned alongside his royal monogram, which consists of the letter 'H' surmounted by a crown. This artistic representation symbolises the continuity of the Luxembourgish monarchy and the constitutional role of the Grand Duke as the head of state. The composition reflects the nation's deep-rooted traditions and the formal transition of power within the ruling dynasty. Surrounding the portrait are twelve stars representing the European Union, integrated with the year of issue. This coin was released in 2004 with a mintage of 2,447,800 pieces.
