Luxembourg-Ville Taxe Communale Revenues, now Denominated in Euros, Continue to Feature Trémont’s Bronze Lion Sculpture

 

Luxembourg-Ville’s revenue stamps have long featured one of the two bronze sculptures of a lion that flank the entrance to the City Hall.  These large statues were sculpted by the Luxembourg sculptor August  Trémont and installed in 1931. Trémont was well known for his large animal sculptures, which he said he created because sculptures of animals were the most difficult to create.  Here the city’s revenue stamps continue to feature Trémont’s bronze lion, with the stamps now denominated in euros, as seen on this 2002 receipt for an identity card.

Previous issue denominated in francs.
