2 euro coin dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of the legal protection of the Luxembourg flag.

The national flag of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg consists of three horizontal stripes, red, white and light blue. The flag is almost identical to that of the Netherlands, except that it is longer and its blue stripe is a lighter shade. It was first used between 1845 and 1848 and officially legally adopted on 23rd June 1972.

Luxembourg had no flag until 1830, when patriots were urged to display the national colors. The flag was defined as a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and blue in 1848, derived from the coat of arms of the House of Luxembourg.

The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
