France, Duchy of Lorraine 15 Deniers Leopold I KM-74 Boudeau-1590 Flon-62 billon coin (undated) is a fascinating medieval-style issue from the independent Duchy of Lorraine, struck during the reign of Duke Leopold I.

The obverse features the Cross of Jerusalem at the center, surrounded by crowned shields, fleurs-de-lis, small heraldic eagles, ornamental symbols, and a circular Latin legend. The reverse displays the crowned monogram of Duke Leopold I formed by intertwined double “L” initials beneath a ducal crown. The elegant monogram is framed by decorative floral ornaments, heraldic eagles, crosses, and a surrounding inscription, all enclosed by a beaded border.

His reign marked a period of recovery, administrative reform, and renewed economic development. This authentic billon coin offers collectors an attractive connection to the history of Lorraine and the complex political landscape of early modern Europe, making it a valuable addition to collections of French regional, medieval, and European numismatics.
