Ten próbny strajk, wraz z 1 frankiem 1914 ( Essai) i 2 frankami 1914 (Essai), są jedynymi egzemplarzami przedstawiającymi portret Marie-Adelaïde.

Marie-Adelaïde (1894-1924) została Wielką Księżną Luksemburga po śmierci swojego ojca Guillaume'a IV w 1912 roku. Po pierwszej wojnie światowej abdykowała w 1919 r. pod naciskiem luksemburskiego parlamentu na rzecz swojej młodszej siostry Charlotty. Ludność Luksemburga zarzuca jej zbyt duże zaangażowanie w sprawy polityczne kraju i utrzymywanie stosunków z Niemcami.

Próba wybita w nakładzie 3000 egzemplarzy w Brukseli.

Ten strajk próbny istnieje w kilku różnych metalach:

• Złoto - 4,4 g. - L#348-1 / KM#E -.
  
  
  
• Srebro - 2,2 g. - ryta krawędź - L#348-2 / KM#E26

This trial strike, together with 1 franc 1914 (Essai) and 2 francs 1914 (Essai), are the only pieces representing the portrait of Marie-Adelaïde.

Marie-Adelaïde (1894 - 1924) 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 reproaches her with too much involvement in the country's political affairs and having maintained relations with Germany.

Trial struck at 3,000 copies in Brussels.
