2 euro coin dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Luxembourg Franc coins representing the Feierstëppler, UNC.

The Feierstüppeler is the figure of a foundry worker, which was found on Luxembourgish 50 centimes pieces and on 1 and 2 franc pieces between 1924 and 1991.
On October 25, 2002, a sculpture by Yvette Gastauer-Claire called De Feierstöppler was officially inaugurated in front of the central bank in the city of Luxembourg . The sculpture should remind of the Luxembourg franc, which was replaced by the euro in 2001 , and also be a tribute to the steel industry, which brought prosperity to the country. The sculpture has no head, but oversized hands. At the inauguration, the artist explained that the large hands can be found in all her sculptures due to their strong radiance.
