| Reverse description | Left foreground presents a large bust of Michel Lentz (1820–1893), the Luxembourgish poet and author of the national anthem, depicted in three-quarter view facing right with full beard and period dress. Behind the bust, a 19th-century steam locomotive with passenger carriages traverses the middle ground, evoking Luxembourg's industrial heritage. The upper field shows a modern high-rise building flanked by European flags at left, and the historic Bock citadel of Luxembourg City at upper right. The crowned coat of arms of Luxembourg — featuring a rampant lion — is positioned centrally in the lower field. The engraver's signature of Willem Vis appears at lower right, with the legends LUXEMBOURG, 1997, and MICHEL LENTZ 1820–1893 distributed across the field. |
