Additional information

Battista Ludovisi governed Piombino for barely three years before dying without male heirs in 1696, extinguishing his line and triggering a succession dispute that would eventually bring the principality under Habsburg influence. The crazia was a small Tuscan denomination, and billon issues of this weight from Piombino circulated under chronic shortage conditions — the principality's mint output was never substantial, and what it did produce often served local coastal trade rather than any broader monetary network.
