Luxembourg - Franc Coins
Luxembourg, a small European country with a rich monetary history, currently uses the euro as its official currency. Adopted in 2002, the euro replaced the Luxembourg franc, marking a significant milestone in the country's economy. Luxembourg numismatics reflect the fascinating monetary evolution of this nation over the centuries.
Predecessor monetary history
Prior to the introduction of the euro, the Luxembourg franc had been the national currency since 1944. However, Luxembourg's monetary history goes back much further, with influences from various European powers. For centuries, coins of French, Belgian and German origin circulated in the territory, reflecting the complex political and economic history of the Grand Duchy.
Milestones in Luxembourg numismatics
One of the most significant moments in Luxembourg's numismatics was the issuance of its first national coin in 1854, under the reign of William III. Since then, the country has produced numerous commemorative coins, most notably the series of euro coins dedicated to the grand ducal family. In addition, Luxembourg is known for its gold "ducat" coins, minted since the 14th century and still appreciated by collectors around the world.
