On 28 April 1961, Grand Duchess Charlotte appointed Prince Jean as her governor, whereby the Hereditary Grand Duke took over the duties of the Luxembourg Head of State on behalf of his mother. The coin features portraits of the three successive rulers, Grand Duchess Charlotte, Grand Duke Jean and the reigning Grand Duke Henri. The motif is surrounded by ten concentric circles of letters, each of which reads in quadruple repetition: "Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg - Grand-Duché de Luxembourg - Grand Duchy of Luxembourg". |
