Lucca was one of the few Italian city-states to maintain genuine republican governance into the eighteenth century, and its coinage reflects that stubborn independence. The Scudo series was struck under the authority of the Anziani, the rotating magistracy that had governed the city since the medieval period, deliberately projecting continuity against the dynastic pressures surrounding it — Tuscany to the south, Genoa to the west, and an increasingly assertive Austrian influence across the peninsula.
The MIR 237/13 designation places this among a long sequence of die marriages, and CNI XI documents considerable variation in the placement of the mintmaster's marks across the run.
