Luxembourg contributes 1 gold product at CelticGold – making Luxembourg gold coins among the rarest and most specialised items in the entire range. As one of Europe's smallest sovereign states (2,586 km², population ~670,000) and one of the wealthiest per capita, Luxembourg's gold coins are produced in exceptionally small quantities as official commemorative legal tender of the Grand Duchy.
History – The Grand Duchy's Numismatic Programme
Luxembourg joined the Latin Monetary Union (1865) and has been a member of various European monetary agreements throughout its history. Modern Luxembourgish gold coins are issued by the Banque centrale du Luxembourg as commemorative legal tender, typically in very small mintages for important national occasions. Their rarity and official status make them collector pieces of significant numismatic interest.
