To the left, an illuminated-manuscript-style medallion with a seated ecclesiastical figure in polychrome evokes medieval Luxembourgish heritage. The Luxembourgish inscription DAUSEND FRANG and the country name LETZEBUERG appear in the lower-right and upper fields respectively, framed by intricate celtic-style knotwork guilloche borders.
