Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1736 Francis III 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Lorraine is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Lorraine, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of Francis III. This design element was added to the coin to signify the coin's origin and to show the connection between the Duchy of Lorraine and the House of Lorraine.
