Luxembourg, a small European country bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany, has a rich history that extends to its numismatic traditions. Silver coins have been a significant part of Luxembourg's monetary history, reflecting its economic and political changes over the centuries.
In the early days, Luxembourg did not mint its own coins. Instead, it used coins from neighboring regions. However, as Luxembourg established its own identity, the need for a distinct currency became evident.
In the 19th century, Luxembourg began to mint its own coins. The first Luxembourgish silver coins were introduced in the mid-1800s. These coins often featured the reigning Grand Duke and various national symbols. They were primarily minted in denominations of 1, 2, and 5 francs.
The 20th century saw significant changes in Luxembourg's coinage, especially during and after World War II. During the German occupation, local currency was replaced by German Reichsmarks. Post-war, Luxembourg resumed minting its own currency. The silver coins of this period continued to depict national icons and were minted in various denominations, including commemorative issues.
