| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco I de' Medici became Grand Duke in 1574 and ruled until his death in 1587 — along with his mistress Bianca Cappello — from what contemporaries called a fever but later historians have long suspected was poison. The giulio was a papal-origin denomination adopted widely across Italian states, and Francesco's issues reflect his court's studied effort to project the Medici as legitimate sovereign rulers rather than glorified bankers.
MIR 192 is among the scarcer of his silver types, produced in the final years of his reign from the Florence mint.
