| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, depicted seated in three-quarter view facing left, clad in his traditional camel-hair garment. He holds a long processional cross in his left hand and raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing, with a lamb resting at his feet as his emblematic attribute. The date appears in the lower field beneath the figure, and the saint's name is inscribed in the circular Latin legend around the periphery, within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cosimo III's reign is often treated as the slow institutional collapse of Medici rule — chronic debt, aggressive taxation, and a clergy-dominated court that alienated Florence's merchant class. The testone denomination itself had been a Florentine staple since the fifteenth century, but by Cosimo's era it was being issued against a backdrop of currency debasement that made silver coinage increasingly scarce in everyday exchange.
MIR TOS#332 is among the earlier dated testons of his reign, preceding the more severe fiscal crises of the 1680s and 1690s.
