The Luxembourg 2006 standard 2 euro coin features the effigy of Grand Duke Henri, a design that serves as the definitive national side for the Grand Duchy's circulation coinage. Facing towards the right, the portrait of the reigning monarch is surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union, symbolising the nation's integration within the eurozone and its constitutional monarchy. The name of the country, LËTZEBUERG, appears alongside the year of issue to signify the sovereign identity of the state. This design reflects the continuity of the Luxembourgish monarchy and its role in modern European governance. The coin was issued as part of the standard circulation series in 2006 with a mintage of 2,000,000 pieces.
