| Description : The coin design, based on a design concept by the Banque
Centrale du Luxembourg - BCL (Luxembourg Central Bank), shows the effigy of Grand Duke Henri on the right, and the
notes and text of the first verse of the Luxembourg national anthem on the left: "Wou d’Uelzecht durech d’Wisen zéit,
duerch d’Fielsen d’Sauer brécht, wou d’Rief laanscht d’Musel dofteg
bléit, den Himmel Wäin ons mecht: Dat ass onst Land, fir dat mer géif heinidden alles won, onst Heemechtsland
dat mir sou déif an onsen Hierzer dron. Onst Heemechtsland dat mir sou déif an onsen Hierzer dron" (Where the
Alzette runs through the meadows, the Sauer breaks through the rocks, the vine blossoms along the Moselle, the sky promises
wine: There is the land for whose honour no sacrifice is too hard for us, the homeland that rests as a dear possession in our
hearts). The name of the hymn Ons Heemecht (Our Homeland) is shown above, the name of the issuing country
"LËTZEBUERG" (Luxembourg) below and below that the year of issue "2013", the latter flanked on the right by a staff of
Hermes the mint mark of the Dutch mint Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt in Utrecht and on the left by the sails of the
three‐masted clipper Nederland the logo of mint master Maarten Brouwer. |
