Grazia Öffentlichkeit Deposited
A base silver coin common to several Italian states and which probably originated in Florence under Cosmo I (1536-1574). The Medici Family also issued it for Siena and Pisa, and it occurs in the coinage of Lucca and Piombino to the end of the seventeenth century. The name may have been drived from the inscription DEI GRATIA usually found upon it, an early copper issue for Lodi, however, has the words I GRAZIA in two lines.
