Can someone explain why this is 2017?

Hi! I have got 500 yen coin from a friend who’s been to Japan and below the number 500 is written 平成二十九年.

The translator says it means 2017, but…. why?

The only part I understand is 二十九, that is 2 10 9, so 29?

Can someone explain me the rest of the kanji and how with a 2 a 10 and a 9 we get to 2017?

あえいがとうございます in advance lol.
