During the First World War, Auguste Trémont (1892-1980), a prominent Luxembourgish painter and sculptor, relocated from Paris to Luxembourg. At the request of the Dudelange steelworks management, he created a series of artworks depicting workers in action. Mathias Gaasch, an impressive worker of the time, caught the painter's eye with his powerful stature, prompting Trémont to choose him as a model. This decision gave birth to the painting of the Feierstёppler. Inspired by Trémont's work, Belgian artist Armand Bonnetain (1888–1973) drew the engraving for the coins. The image of the Feierstёppler adorned the one and two Luxembourg Francs coins until 1991.

Henri (born 16 April 1955) is the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, reigning since 7 October 2000. He is the eldest son of Grand Duke Jean and Princess Joséphine Charlotte of Belgium, and a first cousin of the current King of the Belgians, Philippe.
