| Beschrijving voorzijde | Conjoined draped busts of Elisa Bonaparte and Felice Baciocchi, Co-Princes of Lucca and Piombino, facing right, with Elisa depicted in the foreground wearing a jewelled crown and a draped garment fastened at the shoulder. The circular legend reads FELICE ED ELISA PP • DI LUCCA E PIOMBINO • around the periphery, engraved in a refined Neoclassical style attributed to Santarelli. The finely detailed portraiture reflects the Empire period aesthetic, with Elisa's curled hair and crown rendered with particular sculptural precision. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucca and Piombino was one of the more awkward Napoleonic satellite creations — a principality stitched together in 1805 and handed to Napoleon's sister Elisa Baciocchi and her largely ineffectual husband Félix. Elisa ran the state in practice; Félix was essentially decorative, a fact the coinage quietly acknowledges by listing Felix first only in the most nominal sense. The territory had no meaningful monetary tradition of its own, and these silver franchi were struck to French imperial metrology, effectively dollarizing Lucca into the Napoleonic monetary bloc.
Production ceased when Elisa was elevated to Grand Duchess of Tuscany in 1809, making this a four-year window at most.
