Obverse description
The design depicts at the bottom a hand holding a pencil writing on a piece of paper. The upper part of the pencil ends up in an olive branch, continuing with doves, both being symbols of peace. The doves fly to the horizon showing six stars, representing the six Member States signing later the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, for which the Schuman declaration set the basis. The upper part of the design shows the text `DECLARATION SCHUMAN` as well as its date ` 09.05.1950 `. Below the number `75` represents the indication of the anniversary of the declaration. The name of the issuing country “LUXEMBOURG” as well as the year of issuance “2025” appear at the right of the design. The monogramme (letter `H` with a crown) is a representation of Grand Duke Henri. The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
