Essai pieces struck for Luxembourg in the early 1920s were produced in Paris as trial submissions during the process of selecting designs and compositions for Charlotte's new coinage following her accession in 1919. This aluminium essai was never adopted — Luxembourg's circulating 2-franc coinage went through multiple compositional proposals before the series was finalized, and aluminium was ultimately rejected in favor of other alloys for the issued types.
The Wictor reference places this firmly within the documented trial sequence, though surviving examples remain scarce outside specialist collections.
