| Additional information |
Issued to mark the twentieth anniversary of Grand Duke Henri's marriage to Grand Duchess Maria Teresa Mestre, a Cuban-born activist whose influence on Luxembourg's human rights policy has been considerable and occasionally controversial. The couple wed on February 14, 1981 — well before Henri's accession in 2000 — making this one of the few royal anniversary coins that commemorates a union predating the issuer's reign.
The "classic version" designation distinguishes this from a companion issue bearing a different finish, both released in the same year.
