| Aanvullende informatie |
Francis III of Lorraine struck this teston in 1736, just one year before he was compelled to cede the duchy to Stanisław Leszczyński — the deposed King of Poland and father-in-law of Louis XV — as part of the diplomatic settlement ending the War of the Polish Succession. The arrangement was explicit: Lorraine would pass to France upon Stanisław's death, which it did in 1766. Coins of Francis III from this final Lorraine period are consequently scarce; he departed for Vienna in 1737 to marry Maria Theresa and never returned.
