2024 Luxembourg 2€ — Death of the Grand Duke Guillaume II - Relief

The 2024 Luxembourg 2 euro commemorative coin honours the 175th anniversary of the death of Grand Duke Guillaume II. The national side features a portrait of the Grand Duke alongside an image of the current Grand Duke Henri, visually linking the historical monarch with the contemporary leadership of the nation. Guillaume II played a pivotal role in the constitutional history of Luxembourg, as he granted the country its first constitution in 1848, a foundational moment that transitioned the state toward a parliamentary democracy. By juxtaposing the two figures, the design reflects the continuity and evolution of the Luxembourgish monarchy over nearly two centuries. This commemorative issue was released in 2024 with a mintage of 120,000 coins.
