Luxembourg 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 "Lëtzebuerg" in the local language. Luxembourg does not mint its own coins, they are therefore produced in the Netherlands. An effigy is a representation of a person, especially in the form of sculpture: the coin bears an effigy of Lincoln. An effigy is a rough representation of a person, for example a George W. Bush or Guy Fawkes made of straw and old clothing. ...
