These are the 2 Euro Commemorative coins minted by Luxembourg and dedicated over the years to historical figures of the country. Let’s see one by one all these Luxembourg 2 Euro Coins, we will immediately notice the propensity to portray the leading figures of the royal dynasty. There will also be commemorative coins common to all Eurozone countries, although they will be revisited according to Luxembourg’s standards.
The peculiarity of these coins is undoubtedly the fact that each of them must bear the representation of the Grand Duke, so that even those such as EMU, or Flag, EURO and Treaties of Rome bear the design common to all the countries of the European Union, but with variations that allow the royal portrait to be included. In some cases, it was necessary to resort to holograms, which made the coin particularly interesting from a numismatic point of view.
We start in 2004 and go up to 2020, and below is a table showing the circulation and value of each coin. Please note that all coins feature a finely knurled edge and a series of 6 alternating upside-down 2-numbers, separated by two stars.
Like all 2-euro coins, commemorative bimetallic coins consist of a nickel-plated brass inner ring and a cupronickel outer ring:
- Each coin weighs 8.5 g
- Thickness 2,2 mm
- Diameter 25,75 mm
The majority of Luxembourgish commemorative coins are Non-Common NC, but among these are mintmark variants in Brilliant Uncirculated or Proof versions, which are less common than others and therefore rare to find.
For example, the 2 euro commemorative Luxembourg 2020 coin in the FS version even though it is not classified as Rare R has an interesting value, compared to the others, and is worth over 20€.
