Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Leopold coin is that it was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1700 to 1703. 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 for the coin was a symbol of the duchy's wealth and power.
