Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Paolo - Ferdinando III 1792 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Ferdinando," the name of the ruling monarch at the time. This shield is placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin, and is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
