| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucca's gold coinage of the mid-eighteenth century occupied a peculiar political position: the Republic was one of the last surviving independent Italian city-states, surrounded by Bourbon-controlled Tuscany and the Duchy of Modena, and it maintained its own mint partly as a deliberate assertion of that independence. The demi doppia denomination was a practical subdivision of the doppia, intended for everyday commercial transactions in a city whose silk trade generated enough wealth to sustain a gold-denominated economy well into the 1700s.
MIR 239 distinguishes several die varieties within this type; CNI XI catalogues them exhaustively across multiple obverse punchings.
