Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Paoli coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Leopold) on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design in 1771 to commemorate the accession of Pietro Leopoldo to the throne.
