Reeded
This coin is very common, engraved by Armand Bonnetain and coined at the Brussels currency workshop.
The type was introduced by the Grand-Ducal decree of November 13, 1952, intended to replace the 1 franc - large module.
This coin is made of cupronickel alloy (containing 75% copper and 25% nickel) with a tolerance both outside and inside within 1%. The weight tolerance is 2.9%. This is the last time the puddler was used as a motif for a Luxembourg coin. Please refer to the KM # 35 (1 franc) data sheet for more information about the Feierstëppler.
The reference L#299-8 corresponds to the silver coinage issued in 1980.
There are two different types for the right:
The corner of the type 1 (worker in the center) (KM#46.2) was used only for the 1952 mint year:
