Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paolo - Pietro Leopoldo 1783 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "proof hole" and was commonly used in coins during that time period.
