1 Soldo - Francesco II

Francesco II issued these small copper coins for Gorizia during a period when the county had been absorbed into the Habsburg administrative apparatus, though it retained nominal separate coinage rights. The timing is notable: French Revolutionary forces had already occupied the territory briefly in 1797 following the Treaty of Campo Formio, which transferred much of northern Italy to Austria as compensation for the loss of Belgium. Gorizia's continued local copper coinage in the years immediately after that upheaval reflects Habsburg pragmatism about regional monetary continuity rather than any meaningful local autonomy.
