Interesting fact
The Ecu "Silver Leopold" - Leopold I (shield of Bar/Lorraine) 1704-1705 from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued during the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714 and involved many European powers, including France, which controlled the Duchy of Lorraine at the time. Despite the conflict, the coin still features the image of Leopold I, the reigning Duke of Lorraine, signifying the coin's connection to the French monarchy.
