Comment
Most of these coins were withdrawn from circulation and only few survives.Interesting fact
The 3 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 coat of arms of the House of Bourbon, indicating the duchy's allegiance to the Bourbon dynasty.
