| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Francis III, Duke of Lorraine, facing right, rendered in high relief with elaborate flowing curled wig falling to the shoulder. The truncation shows the duke's armored or draped shoulder. A circular Latin legend runs along the inner border of the beaded rim, identifying the ruler and his titles. The portrait is executed in the refined Baroque court style characteristic of the Lorraine ducal coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francis III of Lorraine ceded his duchy to Stanisław Leszczyński — the deposed Polish king and father-in-law of Louis XV — in 1737, making this 1736 issue one of the final coinages struck under Lorrainian sovereignty before the territory passed definitively to France upon Stanisław's death in 1766. Francis received Tuscany in exchange, a dynastic trade brokered by the Treaty of Vienna that effectively ended six centuries of the House of Lorraine ruling their ancestral lands.
