10 euro - Melusine
Series: Luxembourg - Cultural History of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
The Fairtrade® 2020 gold coin is dedicated
to Melusine, the famous mermaid
whose legend says that she would have
charmed Count Sigefroid. This new edition
of the "Cultural History of Luxembourg"
series invites to a journey back
in time, when a small wooden castle
called "Lucilinburhuc" was unaware
that it would give its name to a dynasty,
a capital and a country. Luxembourg
artist Serge Ecker designed the coin
"Melusine", which recalls the eponymous
statue he created on the occasion
of the city's 1050th anniversary.
