| Additional information |
Luxembourg's coinage during this period was struck under a peculiar constitutional arrangement: the Grand Duchy was in personal union with the Netherlands under Willem III, yet maintained its own monetary identity separate from Dutch issues. These bronze centimes were produced at the Utrecht mint, which held the contract for Luxembourgish coinage throughout the mid-nineteenth century under that dynastic tie.
The series spans sixteen years partly because no pressing need arose to renegotiate the minting arrangement — Luxembourg's population was small, circulation modest, and the coins wore slowly in a largely agrarian economy.
