Luxembourg's 1919 small-denomination paper issues were a direct consequence of the monetary rupture following World War One. The Grand Duchy had used German marks during the occupation, and the new franc-based emergency notes were rushed into circulation to replace them while a proper monetary arrangement with Belgium was being negotiated — a process that eventually produced the 1921 Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union.
The choice of Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig is notable: a German printer producing Luxembourg's post-occupation currency within months of the Armistice, at a moment when German commercial relationships in the region were anything but settled.
