One interesting fact about the 1 Pezza Della Rosa - Cosimo III 1706-1718 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a monarch or a coat of arms, the coin features a image of a rose, which was a symbol of the House of Medici, the ruling family of the Grand Duchy at the time. This design was chosen by Cosimo III himself, who was known for his love of botany and gardening, and it was meant to represent the prosperity and growth of the Tuscan people under his rule.
