Interesting fact
The Teston - Christina of Lorraine 1630 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (Italian States) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) which represents the Roman Senate and People. This symbolizes the close cultural and historical ties between Tuscany and ancient Rome.
