Comments

Nawet gdy Lotaryngia była po prostu księstwem, książę Leopold Ier nosił tytuł króla na swoich monetach, uznając się za spadkobiercę Godefroya z Bouillon, byłego króla Jerozolimy. Wyjaśnia to również użycie tarczy Jerozolimy na rewersie.

Wartość złotych i srebrnych monet emitowanych za panowania Leopolda stale się zmieniała. Według deSaulcy'ego (s. 201), rozporządzenie z 3 stycznia 1716 r., które zezwoliło na wybicie tego nowego typu testonu, ustaliło jego wartość na 26 sous (1,3 liwra)Automatically translated
