Luxembourg's postwar coinage was struck almost entirely at the Utrecht mint through the 1950s and into the 1960s, a reflection of the small duchy's longstanding reliance on foreign minting capacity. Charlotte herself had returned from exile in 1944 after spending the occupation years broadcasting morale addresses from London and Montreal — her continued presence on the coinage into the 1960s carried real political weight in a country that remembered her wartime role clearly.
She abdicated in 1964, just two years after this issue, in favor of her son Jean.
