The 2009 Luxembourg 2 euro commemorative coin honours the Grand Ducal family, featuring a portrait of Grand Duke Henri superimposed over the profile of Grand Duchess Charlotte. This design serves as a symbolic bridge between the current head of state and his grandmother, who reigned during the pivotal years of the Second World War. By depicting the two monarchs together, the coin highlights the continuity of the Luxembourgish monarchy and its enduring role in national identity throughout the twentieth century. The national side also includes the name of the country and the year of issue, framed by the twelve stars of the European Union. This commemorative issue was produced with a mintage of 800,000 coins.
