1/4 Ducat - Francis I of Lorraine, as co-ruler with value

Francis I died in August 1765, making the two-year window on this issue unusually compressed — production almost certainly ceased mid-run when news of his death reached the Hungarian mints. He had ruled as co-regent alongside Maria Theresa since 1740, but his formal role in Hungarian coinage was always secondary; his name appeared on these fractional gold pieces largely as a dynastic formality rather than any reflection of administrative authority over the kingdom.
