Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Leopold II, who was the last Grand Duke of Tuscany and later became the Emperor of Austria. The coin features his portrait on one side and the Tuscan coat of arms on the other. It was minted in 1832, just a few years before the Grand Duchy of Tuscany was annexed by the Austrian Empire. Despite its relatively short circulation, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
