Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Lira - Ferdinando III 1821-1823 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 stands for "Ferdinando," the name of the ruling monarch at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design feature was a distinctive touch added by the engraver, Domenico Fanfani, and sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
