| Description : Prince Charles Jean Philippe Joseph Marie Guillaume of Luxembourg
is the first child of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie and is second in line to
the Luxembourg throne after his father. Based on a design concept of the Banque Centrale du Luxembourg - BCL
(Luxembourg Central Bank), the coin shows the prince after a photo in front of his parents, at the age of six weeks. The
Grand Duke Henri, grandfather of the Prince, who is otherwise depicted on
Luxembourg commemorative coins, is represented on the left by his monogram, an "H" under a royal crown. According to the
bank, the Luxembourg Constitution did not have to be changed for this. The coin is produced in two minting variants, normal
relief minting and MPI photo minting. Next to the country name "LËTZEBUERG" (Luxembourg), which is depicted on the left
in vertical lettering, the title and the date of birth of the prince are written in two lines at the bottom: "S.A.R. DE
PRËNZ CHARLES" (Son Altesse royale / His Royal Highness the Prince Charles) and "☆ 10.5.2020". The circulation
coins bear a staff of Hermes next to the 5 o'clock star the mint mark of the Dutch mint Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt in
Houten and the national mint mark, the Luxembourg lion with double tail, next to the 7 o'clock star. Coincards also show the
staff of Hermes on the right, but the Servaasbrug (Sint‐Servaas Bridge in Maastricht) on the left the logo of mint master
Stephan Satijn. This is also shown on the left side of coins produced in the Proof manufactoring process, but on
the right side the Luxembourg lion with double tail is depicted. |
