| Additional information |
Piombino's late seventeenth-century copper issues were struck under Pandolfo Tricassi-Ludovisi, whose family had held the tiny Tyrrhenian principality since 1634 through the grace of Spanish imperial favor. The principality's coinage authority was always fragile — Piombino changed hands repeatedly across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a strategic coastal enclave — and these soldi represent one of the last autonomous issues before the territory's absorption into larger political orbits following the War of Spanish Succession.
