Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Centimes - Charlotte (Silver Essai) 1946 from Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg) made of Silver weighing 3.15g is that it was designed by the artist, Jean-Pierre Finot, who was a well-known sculptor and engraver from Luxembourg. The coin features a portrait of Charlotte, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, on the obverse, and on the reverse, it depicts the coat of arms of Luxembourg surrounded by oak leaves and the denomination "25 Centimes." The coin was minted in 1946 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is a rare and valuable collector's item, especially for those interested in numismatics or the history of Luxembourg.
