History
Henri became Grand Duke of Luxembourg on October 7, 2000, when his father Jean abdicated. Four years later, the country dedicated a commemorative 2-Euro coin to him, the first in a series dedicated to the Grand Ducal dynasty.
The Banque centrale du Luxembourg presented it on July 23, 2004, and made it available at their counters starting July 26, in a numbered coincard. The design combines the effigy of the Grand Duke, his monogram, an H under a crown, and twelve stars in a semicircle. The 2004 BU set from the Central Bank is titled "150 Years of Grand Ducal Coinage."
Henri reigned until 3 October 2025, the date of his abdication in favor of his son William. This coin therefore dates from a concluded reign: a dated testament to the dynasty, not a rarity.
