1 Centesimo - Francis Joseph I

Lombardy-Venetia was not a sovereign state but an Austrian crown land administered directly from Vienna, and these copper centesimi were issued under imperial authority during a period of intense military repression following the failed revolutions of 1848. The Five Days of Milan and the Venetian Republic had both collapsed by the time this series entered circulation, with Radetzky's forces back in firm control.

The C#25 attribution places this among the Krause catalog's listings for Austrian-administered Italian territories — a category that effectively ceased to exist after Austria ceded Lombardy to Piedmont-Sardinia in 1859.
