The initial Luxembourg coins were introduced in 1854, featuring denominations of 2+1⁄2, 5, and 10 centimes. In 1901, the bronze 5- and 10-centime pieces were substituted with cupro-nickel coins. During 1915–1916, occupying German forces issued zinc 5-, 10-, and 25-centime coins. Following the First World War, iron coins in the same denominations were circulated before the reintroduction of cupronickel in 1924, accompanied by nickel 1- and 2-franc coins. The franc coins were inscribed with "Bon Pour," suggesting that they were tokens deemed "good for" 1 or 2 francs, a feature also found on contemporary French and Belgian coins.
