Between the Grand Ducal Palace and the outer ring of the coin, the year mark is inscribed vertically, with the mint mark above (Cornucopia, Paris Mint) and the mint director Hubert Larivière's mark below (Hunting horn, a wave and a fish). A letter F in one of the stars in a circle stands for the Paris Mint.

The inscription Luxembourg appears superimposed on the two elements of the main design of the coin. The twelve stars of the European Union surround the design on the outer ring of the coin.

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

The sequence "2 ★ ★" repeated six times alternately upright and inverted
