| Additional information |
The Kingdom of Etruria was a Napoleonic client state carved out of Tuscany in 1801 and handed to Louis I of Bourbon-Parma as a diplomatic concession following Lunéville. The kingdom lasted barely three years before Napoleon absorbed it outright in 1807. This ruspone, struck at the Florence mint, continues a Tuscan denomination with roots in the Medici grand duchy — the name derived from "rusp," the rough edge of the die-struck flan.
Louis I died in May 1803, making his issues confined to an exceptionally short window of production.
