Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Paolo - Pietro Leopoldo (2nd series) coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "P.L." (for Pietro Leopoldo) on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design in 1789. This distinctive feature helps to distinguish the 2nd series of coins from the 1st series, which were minted without the shield.
