Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Piastra - Cosimo II 1610 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "C" on the reverse side, which stands for "Cosimo," the name of the ruling Medici family at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
