Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Leopold coin is that it was minted during the reign of Duke Leopold of Lorraine, who was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled the Duchy of Lorraine from 1724 to 1729. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the coat of arms of Lorraine on the other. The use of gold in the coin's composition was a symbol of the duchy's wealth and power.
