| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Saint John the Baptist facing left, rendered in the conventional devotional style typical of Florentine hammered billon coinage of the seventeenth century. The saint is depicted in his characteristic garments, holding his attribute. The encircling Latin legend S•IOANNES•BAPTISTA identifies the patron saint of Florence. The reverse surface shows heavy encrustation consistent with the billon alloy and the coin's age. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinando II inherited the Grand Duchy at age ten in 1621 under a regency dominated by his grandmother Christine of Lorraine and mother Maria Maddalena of Austria, and the crazia — a small billon denomination unique to Tuscany — continued circulating under his name for the full five decades of his reign. The type's longevity in production reflects the chronic shortage of small change that plagued the Florentine economy throughout the seventeenth century.
The MIR 312 attribution covers a span of nearly fifty years, meaning die variations within the type are considerable and precise dating of individual pieces remains difficult.
