Along the lower edge: the birth date "*11.11.1981" and the accession date "3.10.2025". The marks of the Paris Mint, Engraver-General Joaquin Jimenez, and designer Chiara Principe are placed to the lower right of the portrait.

On 3 October 2025, after some 25 years on the throne, Grand Duke Henri abdicated in favour of his eldest son: Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, born on 11 November 1981, became the new Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The 2026 coin combines this accession to the throne with his 45th birthday.
