The standard 2 euro circulation coin from Luxembourg features the effigy of His Royal Highness Grand Duke Henri, who has served as the head of state since 2000. Designed by Yvette Gastauer-Claire, the portrait captures the Grand Duke in profile, facing towards the right. This design serves as a consistent national symbol, reflecting the constitutional monarchy that remains central to the political and social identity of the Grand Duchy. The surrounding stars of the European Union frame the portrait, representing the nation's integration and commitment to the eurozone. This standard issue was minted in 2012 with a total mintage of 3,760,000 pieces.
