Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Francescone - Francesco III (1st series) 1747 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 represents the initial of the ruler, Francesco III. This shield is placed below the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin, adding an extra layer of detail and symbolism to the design.
