More about the motif
Guillaume, born in 1981, is the son of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and holds the title of Hereditary Grand Duke, making him next in line to the throne. Featuring a still-reigning monarch's heir on a circulation coin is unusual in Europe and signals the upcoming generational transition in Luxembourg's ruling house. Luxembourg remains Europe's only sovereign grand duchy, with its dynasty tracing back to the House of Nassau-Weilburg.
