Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Cosimo III coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "S" on the reverse side, which stands for "Sigismondo" (the name of the mint master). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in the city of Siena, which was a prominent center for coin production during the time of Cosimo III's reign.
