In the upper left quadrant is an effigy of the reigning Grand Duke, looking to the right. In the upper right quadrant we see the inscriptions 1868,2018 and 150 ANS (150 years). The year of issue 2018 is preceded and followed by a lion (the Luxembourg national symbol) and the mint mark.

CONSTITUTION
DU GRAND-DUCHÉ DE
LUXEMBOURG.
The inscription LUXEMBOURG is highlighted by having a lighter, rougher background than the rest of the coin and having the cross-section of an open book on top.
Once again Luxembourg has gone against the 2013 guidelines by having parts of the design intrude into the outer ring which is supposed to be reserved solely for the twelve stars of the EU.
Although this is a 2018 Commemorative Coin it was actually issued towards the end of 2017.
From Luxembourg Commemorative 2018 to euro coin collector.
