LUXEMBOURG: Marie-Adelaïde, 1912-1919, AR franc, 1914, KM-E28, Essai at right side of obverse, Brussels Mint trial strike in silver, a stunning reflective specimen state example! PCGS graded Specimen 66. This type, together with the 1914 50 centimes (Essai) and 2 francs (Essai), are the only pieces representing the portrait of Marie-Adelaïde. She became Grand Duchess of Luxembourg following the death of her father Guillaume IV in 1912. After the first world war, she abdicated in 1919 under pressure from the Luxembourg parliament in favor of her younger sister Charlotte. The Luxembourg population reproached her for too much involvement in the country's political affairs and having maintained relations with Germany.
