Wencelas II reigned over Luxembourg from 1383-1388 and then again from 1411-1412.
This is a gros from the first perdiod. Technically, I believe it to be close to unc, but with some weaknesses.

I thought that the first Wencelas was the uncle of the second?

What happened between 1388 and 1411?
It's a very good looking coin for such an age!

Wencelas II gave it as "mortgage" to Josse de Moravie until 1402 who minted during that period also coins with his name. After him it was Louis de France followed again by Josse de Moravie.
Then Wencelas was again personal ruler for a short time before he gave it to his niece Elisabeth de Görtlitz.
He was indeed a nephew of Wencelas I

In 1353 Charles IV King of Bohemia, Count of Luxembourg and elected Holy Roman King, entrusted the county, their father's inheritance, to his half-brother Wenceslaus. In 1355 when Charles was crowned Holy Roman Emperor he raised Luxembourg to the status of a duchy.
