| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized right-facing portrait of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg rendered in bold geometric planes within the Nordic Gold center, evoking a modernist sculptural aesthetic. A vertical line divides the field, with the portrait occupying the right half and the legend to the left. The inscription '2013' appears vertically above the country name 'LËTZEBUERG', both incuse in the left field of the center. The silver outer ring frames the composition in plain, unadorned fashion, contrasting with the warm gold tone of the center. |

Issued under Luxembourg's broader "Europa" thematic series, this piece was struck by the Monnaie de Paris on behalf of the Grand Duchy — a long-standing arrangement reflecting Luxembourg's lack of its own mint infrastructure. The Nordic Gold center alloy, a copper-aluminum-zinc-tin composition developed in the early 1990s and first used in Swedish circulation coinage, was adopted here for its visual contrast against the silver ring rather than any circulatory requirement.
The European honey bee had been experiencing catastrophic colony collapse disorder across EU member states in the years leading up to this issue, lending the subject unusual currency beyond pure numismatic interest.
