Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1980 20 Francs - Jean (Silver) coin from Luxembourg is that it features a unique design that was created by the Luxembourgish artist, Jean Schaeffer. The coin's design depicts a stylized portrait of Grand Duchess Charlotte, who reigned from 1919 to 1964, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and the coat of arms of Luxembourg. The use of a non-traditional design and the inclusion of a female figure on the coin made it stand out among other coins issued by Luxembourg at the time.
