| Aanvullende informatie |
Essai pieces from Luxembourg's 1946 series were produced as trial strikes to evaluate proposed designs following the liberation and currency reorganization after German occupation. This bronze franc was never adopted for circulation — Luxembourg's postwar coinage ultimately moved in a different direction — leaving essai survivors almost entirely in the hands of the Monnaie de Paris, which struck them, and the collectors who acquired them through official channels.
Mintage for Luxembourg essais of this period was typically no more than a few dozen pieces.
