Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Euro Cents coin from Luxembourg featuring Henri I (1st map) is that it was made of Nordic gold, a unique alloy that is resistant to corrosion and has a distinct yellow color. Nordic gold is not a naturally occurring metal, but rather a proprietary alloy developed by the Swedish company, Myntverket. It is composed of 89% copper, 5% aluminum, 5% zinc, and 1% tin. The use of Nordic gold in coin production provides a durable and long-lasting material that can withstand the wear and tear of circulation.
