Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Paolo - Francesco III 1738 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 represents the name of the ruler, Francesco III. This shield is placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin, and is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
