Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Fiorino - Leopoldo II (Pattern) 1843 from Grand Duchy of Tuscany (Italian States) made of Gold is that it was designed by the artist Giuseppe Bertucci, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver of the time. The coin features a portrait of Grand Duke Leopoldo II on one side and an image of the Grand Ducal crown on the other. The coin was minted in 1843 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
