2 Euro Commemorative Luxembourg
These are the two euro Commemorative coins minted by Luxembourg, dedicated over the years to historical figures of the country. Let's take a look at each of these 2 Euro Commemorative Luxembourg coins, and we will immediately notice the tendency to portray prominent members of the royal dynasty. There will also be common commemoratives shared by all Eurozone countries, albeit reinterpreted according to Luxembourgish standards.
The uniqueness of these coins is undoubtedly the fact that each must feature the depiction of the Grand Duke, so even those like UEM, or Flag, EURO and Treaties of Rome bear the common design shared by all EU countries, but with variants that allow for the inclusion of the royal portrait. In some cases, it has been necessary to resort to the Hologram, a requirement that has made the coin particularly interesting from a numismatic perspective.
We start from 2004 to reach 2020, followed by a table with the mintages and values coin by coin. It is important to note that all coins feature a finely milled edge and a series of 6 alternating and inverted 2 numbers, separated by two stars.
The bimetallic commemorative coins are made, like all 2 euro coins, from a nickel-brass inner core and an outer ring of cupronickel, and additionally:
Most of the commemorative coins from Luxembourg are Non-Common NC, among which, however, there are variants of the Mint marks in the Brilliant Uncirculated or Proof versions that are less available compared to others, making them rare coins to find.
For example, the 2 euro commemorative Luxembourg coin from 2020 in the BU version, although not classified as Rare R, has an interesting value, compared to the others, and is worth over €20.
