Product Description

In the year 2019 it is 100 years ago that Grand Duchess Charlotte ascended to the throne of Luxembourg. After the legal male successor, Adolphe, became the successor to King William III in 1890 and was himself succeeded by William IV in 1905, a change in the law was also possible by a constitutional amendment. William IV was succeeded by Grand Duchess Adelaida who was weak in health and in 1919 was urgently advised to give up the throne. She was succeeded by her sister Charlotte who was Grand Duchess for as long as 45 years from 1919 to 1964! To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the succession of Grand Duchess of Charlotte, Luxembourg has issued a special 2 Euro coin. On the right side of the coin is an image of Grand Duchess Charlotte. On the left side of the coin her grandson Henri, the current Grand Duke of Luxembourg is depicted. In an arc around the portraits is the French text "Centenaire de l'accécion au trône de la Grande-Duchesse Charlotte" (100 years of the enthronement of the Grand Duchess Charlotte). The country name Luxembourg is shown in French because the other text is also in French. Under the country name is the year 2019 with the Luxembourg mint mark to the left and the Mercury staff to the right. This indicates that this coin was minted in the Netherlands.
