| Additional information |
Philip the Handsome's tenure as nominal ruler of Luxembourg was largely administrative — his attention consumed by Castile, where he and Joanna were pressing their dynastic claim against Ferdinand of Aragon. These gros were struck during a narrow window before his departure for Spain in 1502, a journey from which he would not return in any political sense; he died in Burgos in 1506, leaving Luxembourg folded into the broader Habsburg inheritance without a dedicated local successor coinage for years.
