<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 29658, member: 39&quot;]In 1924 Luxembourg issued coins with the monogram of Grand Duchess Charlotte. The €2 &quot;monogram coin&quot;, minted 80 years later, is supposed to be a continuation of that tradition.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, 2004 also marked the 150th anniversary of grand ducal coinage, which was the theme of the annual circulation coin set. So maybe that could be considered a second reason for issuing this special €2 coin ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Central Bank of Luxembourg has a trilingual &quot;catalog of numismatic products&quot; (PDF document) online:</p><p><a href="http://www.bcl.lu/fr/monnaie/numismatique/catalogue_numismatique.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bcl.lu/fr/monnaie/numismatique/catalogue_numismatique.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.bcl.lu/fr/monnaie/numismatique/catalogue_numismatique.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>See page 7 for an English language description of that €2 monogram coin. (Note that the price of €8 refers to the &quot;coin card&quot; depicted; the raw piece was, and maybe still is, available at face value.) The 2004 coin set that I mentioned above is described on page 4.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
