Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pezza della Rosa - Jean Gaston 1er 1726 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element - a small rose on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name "Pezza della Rosa" (Rose Coin) in Italian. This design was introduced by Grand Duke Gian Gastone in 1726 and was used on various denominations of coins during his reign. The rose symbolized the Grand Duke's love for his wife, Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg, and was meant to represent the prosperity and growth of the Tuscan state under his rule.
