| Additional information |
Wenceslaus I ruled Luxembourg for half a century but spent much of his reign entangled in the dynastic politics of the Holy Roman Empire — his brother Charles IV held the imperial throne, and Luxembourg's monetary policy during this period was shaped as much by Bohemian imperial interests as by local economic need. The 1⁄12 gros denomination placed this coin at the lowest practical tier of silver currency, intended for everyday small transactions in a region where larger denominations rarely changed hands among common people.
The thirty-year striking window recorded for this type reflects continuous reissue rather than a single mint run.
