| Averslegende | JEAN GRAND-DUC DE LUXEMBOURG IML (Translation: JEAN GRAND DUKE OF LUXEMBOURG IML) |
| Reversbeschreibung | The upper half of the central field displays a strophe from the Luxembourgish national anthem 'Ons Heemecht' (rendered in Luxembourgish as 'Hémecht') arranged along the curve of the inner circle. The lower half features the American and Luxembourgish flags arranged symmetrically and adapted to the circular format, commemorating the liberation of Luxembourg in 1944. A radiating sunburst occupies the upper border with the denomination '500 F' at its center, while the lower border carries the commemorative inscription with the dates 1944 and 1994. The overall composition balances heraldic and patriotic imagery within a precisely structured circular design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The 1994 issue commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Luxembourg's liberation from German occupation, which came in September 1944 when American forces — principally elements of Patton's Third Army — pushed through the Grand Duchy. Grand Duke Jean, who had served as a volunteer officer with the Irish Guards during the campaign, was present for the liberation of his own country, a circumstance unusual enough in royal military history to warrant specific note.
Luxembourg had been annexed directly into the Reich in 1942, its distinct identity formally suppressed. Jean's personal participation in the campaign gave this anniversary genuine biographical weight rather than ceremonial distance.
