Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 crazia coin from the Principality of Piombino is that it was minted during the reign of Giacomo VII Appiani, who was the last ruler of the Appiani dynasty. He ruled from 1595 until his death in 1597, and this coin was likely minted during his reign as a way to promote trade and commerce within the principality. Despite its small weight of 0.77 grams, the coin was likely an important part of the local economy at the time.
