Some lettering variations exist (ANTHON.D.CA ; MONETA.NANC).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Anthony, Duke of Lorraine, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and military of the duchy. The coin's design, featuring the ducal monogram and the denomination, reflects the standardization of coinage during this period. Additionally, the use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice in European coinage during the 16th century.
