Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Francescone - Leopold II 1826 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Leopold) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to commemorate the reign of Leopold II, who was the Grand Duke of Tuscany from 1824 to 1859.
