{{Short description|Designs of Luxembourgish currency}} '''Luxembourgish euro coins''' feature three different designs, though they all contain the portrait or [[effigy]] of [[Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg|Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg]]. The designs, by [[Yvette Gastauer-Claire]], also contain the 12 stars of the [[European flag]], the year of imprint and the name of the country in the [[Luxembourgish language]]: ''Lëtzebuerg''. The Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg appears on the coins facing to the left.<ref name="left/right">In heraldry, directions are often described as they would appear to the bearer of a coat of arms, rather than as they would appear to the viewer. Therefore, coin descriptions will use "facing to the left" when it would appear to the layperson that the person depicted is facing to the right.</ref> He was not featured on the [[Luxembourgish franc|Luxembourg franc]] as he only became Grand Duke in 2000 following the abdication of his father, [[Jean of Luxembourg|Jean]]. Jean's portrait on the francs showed him facing to the right, and it is common in a number of countries for successive monarchs to alternate the direction they faced on coins. ==Luxembourg euro design== For [[Euro coins#Depiction of euro coinage - Reverse side|images of the common side]] and a detailed description of the coins, see [[euro coins]]. {{Coin image box 8 singles |header=Depiction of Luxembourg euro coinage <nowiki>|</nowiki> Obverse side |column_1_width=151 |column_2_width=166 |column_3_width=158 |denom_1=€ 0.01 |denom_2=€ 0.02 |denom_3=€ 0.05 |image_1= |image_2= |image_3= |row_1_caption=Effigy of [[Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg|Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg]] |denom_4=€ 0.10 |denom_5=€ 0.20 |denom_6=€ 0.50 |image_4= |image_5= |image_6= |row_2_caption=Effigy of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg |denom_7=€ 1.00 |denom_8=€ 2.00 |header_9=€ 2 Coin Edge |box_9=[[Image:2€ edge inv2.svg|155px]] for a total of 12 stars |image_7= |image_8= |row_3_caption=Effigy of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg }} ==Circulating mintage quantities== {|class="wikitable" style="width:100%;text-align:center" |- !|Face Value <ref>{{cite web|publisher=Henning Agt|url=http://www.euro-auflagen.de/index.php?lang=en|title=Circulating Mintage quantities|access-date=2008-08-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bcl.lu/fr/Billets-et-pieces/produit_numismatique/catalogue_numismatique.pdf|title=Produits numismatiques du Luxembourg - 2018|website=bcl.lu|publisher=Banque Centrale de Luxembourg|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180630133757/http://www.bcl.lu/fr/Billets-et-pieces/produit_numismatique/catalogue_numismatique.pdf|archive-date=30 June 2018|url-status=dead|access-date=12 July 2018}}</ref> !|€0.01 !|€0.02 !|€0.05 !|€0.10 !|€0.20 !|€0.50 !|€1.00 !|€2.00 !€2.00 CC !€2.00 CC* |- !| 2002 || 34,512,500 || 35,912,500 || 28,912,500 || 25,112,500 || 25,712,500 || 21,912,500 || 21,313,525 || 18,512,500 |* |* |- !| 2003 || 1,500,000 || 1,500,000 || 4,500,000 || 1,500,000 || 1,500,000 || 2,500,000 || 1,500,000 || 3,500,000 |* |* |- !| 2004 || 21,001,000 || 20,001,000 || 16,001,000 || 12,001,000 || 14,001,000 || 10,001,000 || 9,001,000 || 7,553,200 |2,447,800 |* |- !| 2005 || 7,000,000 || 13,000,000 || 6,000,000 || 2,000,000 || 6,000,000 || 3,000,000 || 2,000,000 || 3,500,000 |2,720,000 |* |- !| 2006 || 4,000,000 || 4,000,000 || 5,000,000 || 4,000,000 || 7,000,000 || 3,000,000 || 1,000,000 || 2,000,000 |1,000,000 |* |- !| 2007 || 6,000,000 || 8,000,000 || 5,000,000 || 5,000,000 || 8,000,000 || 4,000,000 || 480,000 || 4,000,000 |1,000,000 |2,000,000 |- !| 2008 || 10,000,000 || 12,000,000 || 9,000,000 || 5,000,000 || 6,000,000 || 4,000,000 || 480,000 || 6,000,000 |1,000,000 |* |- !|2009 ||4,000,000 ||3,000,000 ||6,000,000 ||4,000,000 ||5,000,000 ||2,000,000 ||240,000 ||240,000 |800,000 |800,000 |- !|2010 ||6,000,000 ||8,000,000 ||6,000,000 ||4,000,000 ||8,000,000 ||5,000,000 ||1,000,000 ||3,500,000 |500,000 |* |- !|2011 ||7,600,000 ||6,200,000 ||6,700,000 ||4,800,000 ||5,300,000 ||3,500,000 ||1,520,000 ||2,320,000 |700,000 |* |- !|2012 ||9,200,000 ||7,200,000 ||5,200,000 ||2,200,000 ||5,200,000 ||2,600,000 ||2,240,000 ||3,760,000 |1,200,000 |500,000 |- !2013 |5,100,000 |7,100,000 |7,100,000 |3,600,000 |7,100,000 |6,100,000 |3,320,000 |3,120,000 |500,000 |* |- !2014 |10,000,000 |10,000,000 |10,000,000 |5,000,000 |7,000,000 |7,000,000 |5,000,000 |9,000,000 |1,000,000 |* |- !2015 |5,000,000 |7,000,000 |6,000,000 |4,000,000 |10,000,000 |5,000,000 |1,000,000 |4,000,000 |1,000,000 |500,000 |- !2016 |5,000,000 |7,000,000 |6,000,000 |4,000,000 |10,000,000 |5,000,000 |1,000,000 |4,000,000 |500,000 |* |- !2017 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |600,000 |* |- !2018 |5,000,000 |5,050,000 |3,050,000 |2,050,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |50,000 |600,000 |* |- | colspan="11" align="left" | <nowiki>*</nowiki> No coins were minted that year for that denomination<br /> <nowiki>**</nowiki> Data not available yet<br /> <nowiki>***</nowiki> Small quantities minted for sets only CC [[2 euro commemorative coins|Commemorative coin]] CC* Jointly-issued commemorative coin throughout the [[eurozone]] |- |} ===Mints=== 2002-2004: [[Royal Dutch Mint|Royal Dutch Mint (Netherlands)]]<br/> 2005-2006: [[Mint of Finland]]<br/> 2007-2008: [[Monnaie de Paris|Paris Mint (France)]]<br/> 2009-2018: Royal Dutch Mint (Netherlands) ==€2 commemorative coins== {{main|€2 commemorative coins}} === Luxembourgish Grand-Ducal Dynasty series === {| class="wikitable" |- !
