| Additional information |
The Institut Monétaire Luxembourgeois was itself a relatively recent creation when this coin was struck — established in 1983 to replace the Belgian-Luxembourg Exchange Institute and give Luxembourg its first genuinely independent monetary authority. The 50-franc denomination had existed in various forms for decades, but this issue was among the first to be fully administered under that new structure.
Luxembourg and Belgium maintained a monetary union from 1921 until the euro's arrival, meaning Luxembourg francs circulated at parity with Belgian francs throughout this coin's active life.
