Interesting fact
The Ecu "Silver Leopold" - Leopold I (shield of Lorraine) 1702 from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). This conflict involved many European powers, including France, which had a significant impact on the production of coins during this period. Despite the challenges, the minting of this coin continued, and it remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
