| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device comprising an interlaced double-L monogram surmounted by a ducal crown, all within the coin field. Three small alerions (wingless eagles), the heraldic charge of Lorraine, are positioned around the monogram — one to the left, one to the right, and one at the base — serving as decorative and heraldic punctuation. The peripheral legend, reading clockwise in Latin, is separated by dot stops and runs along the milled border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold I rebuilt Lorraine from near-total ruin after the Thirty Years' War and the subsequent French occupation had left the duchy's population reduced by roughly two-thirds. His monetary reforms from the 1690s onward were a deliberate reconstruction effort — reestablishing a functioning silver coinage was as much a political act of sovereignty as an economic one.
The 30 denier denomination placed this piece in the practical middle range of daily commerce, neither the prestige of a larger silver nor the anonymous wear of a billon piece. The long production window across three decades reflects the stability of Leopold's reign rather than any single minting event.
