Coin designs used in Luxembourg
Luxembourgish euro coins
feature three different designs, though they all contain the portrait or
effigy
of
Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg
. The designs, by
Yvette Gastauer-Claire
, also contain the
12 stars of the EU
flag, the year of imprint and the name of the country in the
Luxembourgish language
:
Letzebuerg
.
The Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg appears on the coins facing to the left.
[1]
He was not featured on the
Luxembourg franc
as he only became Grand Duke in 2000 following the abdication of his father,
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. Other euro coins issued by member states which are monarchies show their monarchs facing to the left, in common with the effigy on their legacy currencies.

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.
