Pezza Público Deposited
The name given to a variety of Seudo struck by the Medici family at Leg- horn. It appears to have been first issued by Perdinando II about 1660, and was retained by Cosmo III and Giovanni Gas- tone. It is usually known as the Pezza della Rosa from the figure of a rose-bush on one side. There is a corresponding half. A gold type, struck in Florence in 1716, is known as the Pezza d'oro della Rosa; and the double Zecchino of this series is popularly called Tvosina.
