Do you have a Euro coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment
Only my second Luxembourg find and it has been years since the first. Most likely since this tiny country has low circulating coinage and low tourist numbers that is why it is hardly seen in the States.
A few other people, at the time of the find, I showed did not know what country it was. The reason is because the spelling is LËTZEBURG meaning Luxembourg in a dialect they call Luxembourgish which is mostly German, nice umlaut.
This one is a Euro and I suspect I won't be finding any more Francs since those also did not circulate far and were quickly recycled by the time the Euro arrived. Still I will look carefully.
Above Image: Clicking or better yet middle-clicking on the picture you'll see a tiny F in the star above the L, it means minted in France. Surrounding the date to the left is a cornucopia meaning it was made at Pessac Mint. The other symbol to the right of the date escapes me at the moment.
Below Image: Is the typical 5 Euro Cent design mandated by European law.
His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Henri ruler since 2000 is on the coin. Which is odd for Americans since living presidents are not allowed on coins over here.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cent / Luxembourg
Year: 2008
Mintage: 9,000,000
Metal: Copper-plated Steel
Value: $0.15 in Very-Fine
