Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ongaro - Cosimo III 1674 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 "Santo," indicating that the coin was minted in the city of Florence, which was also known as the "City of the Santo" (City of the Saint) due to its association with the revered Saint John the Baptist.
