| Description : The coin, minted to commemorate Grand Duke Jean's 1964 accession
to the throne, shows his half‐portrait and that of his son, the reigning Grand Duke Henri, beneath the crown of Luxembourg
depicted in stylised form with the imperial orb. The upper rim of the pill bears in a circle the inscription
"50e ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'ACCESSION AU TRÔNE DU GRAND‐DUC JEAN" (50th anniversary of the accession to the throne
by Grand Duke Jean). The coin, based on a design concept of the Banque Centrale du Luxembourg - BCL (Luxembourg
Central Bank), mentions above Jean's portrait the year "1964" of his accession to the throne, and below the portraits the
names "Jean" and "Henri". The year of issue "2014" shown below is 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. Luxembourg as the
issuing country is not shown on the coin. |
