    We have far more of those in the Senate never mind the House. Slabbing em may not be a bad idea though.

    I wonder if the PCGS graders get a good laugh when coins like this come across their desk?

    I didn't realize the As denomination had survived the fall of the Roman empire.

    Don't feel bad, I posted on this topic already. image

    From http://www.answers.com/topic/luxembourg-city

    "During the French Revolutionary Wars, the city was occupied by France twice: once, briefly, in 1792–3, and, later, after a seven-month siege. Luxembourg held out for so long under the French siege that French politician and military engineer Lazare Carnot called Luxembourg "the best [fortress] in the world, except Gibraltar", giving rise to the city's nickname: the 'Gibraltar of the North'.
    Nonetheless, the Austrian garrison eventually surrendered, and, as a consequence, Luxembourg was annexed into the French Republic as part of the département of Forêts, with Luxembourg City as its préfecture. Under the 1815 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Napoleonic Wars, Luxembourg City was placed under Prussian military control as a part of the German Confederation, although sovereignty passed to the House of Orange-Nassau, in personal union with the United Kingdom of the Netherlands."
