Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Paoli - Ferdinando III 1791 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Ferdinando," the name of the ruling monarch at the time, Grand Duke Ferdinand III.
