| Additional information |
Carlo Ludovico di Borbone, who governed Lucca as a dependent principality under Austrian guarantee, spent much of his reign abroad — his personal debts and restless temperament kept him frequently outside the duchy entirely. The small copper coinage issued under his name was administered largely without his direct involvement. Lucca itself was handed over to Tuscany in 1847 as a consequence of the Treaty of Vienna provisions, ending the Bourbon line there permanently.
The CNI XI attribution places this among a closely documented series; the MIR numbering aligns with the Tuscan regional cataloguing that treats Lucchese issues as a coherent northern Italian subset.
