The page says: As it is the first time that the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg figures on the coins, his head is turned to the left. Only in the images his head is facing right. Is this a misphrasing, or possibly are earlier coins being referred to? —Muke Tever 17:23, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

If you compare these coins' portrait to the portraits on others, you'll notice they do look in different directions. As with coats of arms, the direction that animals or people on coins or coats are facing is given in reverse, i.e. from their point of view; so on these coins, the Grand Duke is technically facing left.
