| Additional information |
Charlotte's post-war coinage resumed under complicated circumstances: Luxembourg had been occupied by Germany from 1940, the grand-ducal family fled to London and later Canada, and the franc itself was suppressed in favor of the Reichsmark during occupation. These 1946–1947 pieces were among the first issues restoring the franc as sovereign currency after liberation, struck as the country rebuilt its monetary infrastructure from near scratch.
The "large type" designation distinguishes this from the reduced KM#46.2 issue that followed shortly after.
