Multi-view-minted Luxembourg 2009 2€ commemorative coin (LËTZEBUERG, UEM (l’Union économique et monétaire). Due to special laws requiring that every coin bear the incumbent Grand Duke’s portrait, the Luxembourgish edition of the common €2 commemorative coin differs slightly from the others in addition to the translated inscriptions, since two latent image of the Grand Duke’s portrait were added (as required by national law). The method used (multi-view-minting) was even more sophisticated than the one used in 2007, as portraits of the Grand Duke from the left and the right could be seen, depending on which way one tilted the coin.
