Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Francescone - Pietro Leopoldo (2nd type) coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Leopold) on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design in 1768. This distinctive feature helps to distinguish the 2nd type of the coin from the 1st type, which was minted without the shield.
