Comment
The last coins minted in the Duchy of Lorraine were issued in 1736.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Teston - Francis III 1736 from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Silver weighing 8.15g is that it features a unique design element - the coat of arms of the Duchy of Lorraine, which includes a shield with three fleur-de-lis (stylized lilies) and a crown above it, symbolizing the sovereignty of the Duchy. This design was used on many coins minted during Francis III's reign, making it a distinctive feature of his coinage.
