| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed right-facing bust of Michel Lentz (1820–1893), Luxembourg's national poet, wearing spectacles and bearing a full beard, rendered in high relief against a detailed background depicting a 19th-century Luxembourg cityscape with period architecture, a steam locomotive, and a stylized map outline. The portrait is naturalistic and executed in a classical engraving style. The legend MICHEL 1820 / LENTZ 1893 is inscribed in two lines along the lower portion of the field, recording the subject's birth and death years. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Michel Lentz wrote "Ons Heemecht" in 1859, the poem that became Luxembourg's national anthem, though it was not officially adopted as such until 1993 — just four years before this coin was struck. The timing was deliberate: the 1990s saw Luxembourg investing heavily in asserting a distinct cultural identity, separate from the French and German linguistic pulls that had long complicated the country's sense of nationhood.
Lentz died in 1893, largely celebrated but not wealthy.
