1 Lira - Carlo Ludovico I

Carlo Ludovico — properly Karl Ludwig of Bourbon-Parma — ruled Lucca as a dependency of his mother Maria Luisa's prior regency, and his tenure was widely understood to be temporary. The Congress of Vienna had already scheduled Lucca's absorption into Tuscany upon the extinction of the Bourbon-Parma line, which occurred precisely as anticipated in 1847. He spent much of his reign abroad, leaving administration to others, and abdicated to Parma the moment that duchy became available.

The .666 fineness reflects the degraded silver standard that had crept across smaller Italian states by the 1830s, Lucca lacking the economic weight to maintain finer coinage against regional commercial pressure.
