| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Duke Leopold I facing right, rendered in a flowing Baroque style with elaborately curled long hair falling to the shoulder. The effigy is boldly struck in high relief against a flat field. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery within a toothed border, identifying the ruler by name and title. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold I of Lorraine spent much of his reign navigating the impossible position of ruling a nominally independent duchy sandwiched between French ambitions and Habsburg loyalties — his mother was a Habsburg, and Louis XIV had occupied Lorraine for decades before Leopold was finally restored in 1698. The fractional silver issues of his final years, including this piece, were struck at the Nancy mint as Leopold worked to rebuild a functioning monetary system after that long French occupation had thoroughly disrupted local coinage.
Leopold died in 1729. His son Francis Stephen eventually ceded the duchy to France entirely in 1737 in exchange for Tuscany.
