| Additional information |
Luxembourg's "Family of Man" series commemorates the permanent photography exhibition housed at the Castle of Clervaux — a UNESCO-recognized collection originally assembled by Edward Steichen for the Museum of Modern Art in 1955. The exhibition toured 38 countries before finding its permanent home in Luxembourg, Steichen's birth country.
The trimetallic construction places this firmly in collector circulation rather than everyday use — a practical reality that makes genuine wear essentially nonexistent on surviving examples.
