Irregularity due to die wear, the coin shows metal crushing in the form of longitudinal lines.

During minting, high dynamic loads occur on the dies, which sometimes cause damage in the form of cracks or even chips. The friction between the surfaces of the dies and the coin disc causes gradual wear of the dies. Contrary to appearances, mint destructs are highly sought after by collectors, because their uniqueness makes them interesting and often very valuable, due to their rarity and exceptionality.

Obverse of the coin: leakage of the central ring, stars on the outer edge of the coin are misshapen, several stars are missing.

The inscription LËTZEBUERG and the year 2014 are distorted, with several letters and numbers partially missing. There is no visible division of the central part of the coin into two equal fields. The image of Henry Grand Duke of Luxembourg is distorted; (deficiencies) the face and head are not clearly visible, and two mint symbols are missing.

The shape of the coin is not round but distorted, additionally visible are two very wide convex grooves on the coin, and three narrow grooves punched during the movement of the die. Three stars are missing on the outer edge of the coin. The edge of the coin at the top is very distorted, showing metal loss cut by the press.

Reverse of the coin: leakage from the central ring, along with four clearly visible wide external gaps in the shape of cones, running horizontally through the center of the coin. All grooves were punched during the movement of the press die and minting under enormous pressure. Number 2 is damaged and partially at the bottom, with the beginning of the next number 2 at the bottom of the base.

Edge of the coin distorted. Missing the set of 6 stars and 6 vertical lines below and above the EURO inscription. The EURO inscription is poorly visible. The map of Europe is misshapen, with several countries missing. Additionally, another stamp was struck on the lower left edge of the coin in the form of the EURO inscription, as well as another double stamp was struck through the central center of the coin, along with additional metal pouring at the top of the coin.

An interesting and unique very rare and unusual form of destruction of this coin.
