Interesting fact
The 1 Scudo coin from the Republic of Lucca was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was issued in 1753, just a few years before the Republic of Lucca was annexed by the Duchy of Parma in 1756. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a reminder of the rich history and culture of the region.
