| Reversbeschreibung | Central design features a stylized globe displaying the European continent overlaid with concentric radar sweep rings emanating from a central point, symbolizing air traffic control coverage. A large commercial jet aircraft is depicted in high relief flying diagonally across the upper portion of the field, conveying the theme of civil aviation. To the right of the globe, the inscriptions 'LUXEMBOURG', 'MAASTRICHT', and 'BRUXELLES' identify key Eurocontrol locations. A bilingual legend in French and English arcs around the upper periphery, reading 'CONTRÔLE DU TRAFIC AÉRIEN – EUROCONTROL – AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL', while the denomination '5 ECU' appears at the base flanked by rows of stars. The mint mark 'CHI' is visible at the lower left of the field. |

John of Bohemia, Count of Luxembourg from 1310, died at Crécy in 1346 — blind for the last decade of his life yet reportedly charging into the battle tethered to his knights by the reins of their horses. This coin is part of Luxembourg's ECU commemorative series issued in the final years before the euro rendered the unit obsolete, a period when several European mints aggressively marketed large-format collector pieces denominated in the notional ECU, which was never legal tender in the conventional sense.
John's famous device, "Ich dien," is traditionally credited as the origin of the Prince of Wales motto — a claim historians continue to dispute.
