2 Euro Commemorative coins Luxembourg 2025

75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration

On the Obverse, in the lower part of the coin, a hand is depicted holding a pencil and writing on a sheet of paper; the pencil, in the upper part, is represented as an olive branch which, in turn, transforms into a flock of doves (both symbols of peace). The doves fly towards the top, where six stars are arranged in a semicircle, representing the six Member States that later signed the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, for which the Schuman Declaration laid the groundwork. The speech held by Robert Schuman (then French Minister of Foreign Affairs) is considered the first official political speech in which the concept of Europe as an economic and political union among various states emerged. At the top is the circular inscription “DECLARATION SCHUMAN,” with the date “09.05.1950” written in an arc below it. Further down, on the left, is the number "75" (the anniversary year), with the monogram of Grand Duke Henri (the crowned letter “H”) immediately below it.
