| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylised geometric effigy of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg facing right, rendered in a modernist portrait style by engraver Yvette Gastauer-Claire. The national name 'LËTZEBUERG' appears as a legend to the left of the portrait, while the mint year is inscribed below along with the engraver's initials 'GC'. The design occupies the bimetallic centre of the coin, with the portrait filling the right portion of the inner disc. The composition reflects a contemporary artistic approach to royal portraiture within the eurozone coinage series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard European Union first-series map design by Luc Luycx, depicting the fifteen member states of the European Union as a cartographic relief set against a globe background. The face value '2 EURO' is inscribed to the left of the map, with the engraver's initials 'LL' appearing below. Twelve stars of the European Union are arranged around the outer ring of the bimetallic coin. The design was common to all eurozone member states for the 2 Euro denomination during the first map series, valid from 2002 until the map was updated in 2007. |
