Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Francescone coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features an image of Francesco III, who was the last ruler of the House of Medici and the last Grand Duke of Tuscany. He ruled from 1737 until his death in 1765, and his reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the establishment of a new constitution and the promotion of trade and commerce. The coin's design, which includes an image of Francesco III and the Tuscan coat of arms, reflects the importance of the Medici family and their legacy in Tuscany.
