Luxembourg, 2 Euro, 30 Years of European Union Flag

Commemorative issue 30th Anniversary of the Flag of the European Union.
The designs show the European Union flag as a symbol that unites people and cultures with shared visions and ideals for a better common future. Twelve stars that morph into human figures are embracing the birth of a new Europe. At the top right, in semi-circle, are the issuing country and the years ‘1985-2015’. At the bottom right are the initials of the artist (Georgios Stamatopoulos). The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union. Latent image at center showing either the main design, the European flag, or the portrait of Grand Duke Henri I.
A map, next to the face value, shows the European continent without borders.
