175th Anniversary of the Death of Grand Duke William II
 

William Frederick George Louis, known as William II of the Netherlands, was born in The Hague, Netherlands, on December 6, 1792, and died on March 17, 1849 in Tilburg. Throughout his life he held several important titles, since since the abdication of his father in 1840, he ascended the throne, becoming king of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg. In addition, he was also named Prince of Orange, as presumptive heir to the throne, between 1815 and 1840.

William II was a less interventionist monarch in national politics, unlike his father, having a perhaps somewhat conservative ideology, but due to popular demand he ended up acting in a much more moderate manner during his reign. A few months before his death, the monarch swore in the first Dutch parliamentary government.

Centenary of the introduction of Luxembourgish franc coins with the image of the Feierstëppler


On the obverse of the Luxembourg francs from between 1924 and 1991, a pudding machine (Feierstëppler) appeared at work on a background with blast furnaces.

The Feierstüppeler is the figure of a foundry worker, a motif that was represented by the Luxembourgish painter and sculptor Auguste Trémont when he was hired by the management of Diddelenger Schmelz to paint scenes of the work process, this was when, upon visiting the foundry, He portrayed Mathias Gaasch, a character who appears on the coins.

Issuance volumes

The issuance volume for both currencies is 120,000 in rolls and 7,500 in coincard.
