Comment
Bernays and Vannerus do not mention variants for this piece. Weiller no longer but it lists three fake years which were struck on copper. Probst on his side quotes a fake year in billon with bigger H and a weight of 2.6 grams.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Sols - Leopold II 1790 coin from the Duchy of Luxembourg is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1790, just a year before the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the political landscape of Europe and led to the eventual abolition of the Duchy of Luxembourg. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
