| Aanvullende informatie |
The Principality of Lucca and Piombino was carved out of Napoleonic reorganization in 1805 and handed to Félix Baciocchi largely because he had married Elisa Bonaparte. The territory was a political gift, not a strategic one. Essai pieces from this administration are pattern strikes produced for approval rather than circulation, which explains their survival in tin — a test medium cheap enough to waste and durable enough to preserve a die impression.
Lucca never developed a robust coinage infrastructure. Most essais from this principality exist in very small numbers, some in unique examples.
