Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Lire coin from the Kingdom of Etruria is that it features an image of Charles Louis, who was the son of Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette, and was the last heir of the French monarchy. This coin was minted during his brief reign as King of Etruria, which was a short-lived kingdom that was established in 1801 and lasted until 1807, when it was annexed by France. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver reflect the influence of French culture and currency on the Kingdom of Etruria during this time.
