| Additional information |
Charles IV issued this fractional gros from Luxembourg during the decade he was simultaneously Holy Roman Emperor, a fact that gave even minor Luxembourgish denominations outsized political weight in regional trade. The 1340s and 1350s saw Charles aggressively consolidating Bohemian and imperial finances, and his Luxembourg coinage reflects a deliberate alignment with the heavier Flemish and French gros traditions circulating across the Low Countries.
Weiller 115 is among the scarcer attributions in the series. At under a gram, survivors in collectible condition are genuinely uncommon.
