Interesting fact

The 2 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Lucca, issued in 1835 during the reign of Carlo Ludovico I, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the letters "C.L." (for Carlo Ludovico) on either side, signifying the dual nature of the coin's authority, both as a local ducal coin and as a coin of the broader Italian States.
