Tuscan lira

The lira (plural: "lire") was the distinct currency of Tuscany until 1826. It was subdivided into 20 "soldi" (singular: "soldo"), each of 3 "quattrini" (singular: quattrino) or 12 "denari" (singular: "denaro"), with the "paolo" worth 40 quattrini and the "francescone" worth 10 paoli. It was replaced by the fiorino, worth 100 quattrini (1⅔ lire).

Coins

In the late 18th century, copper coins circulated in denominations of 1 and 2 quattrini, and 1 soldo, together with billon 10 quattrini and silver ½, 1, 2, 5 and 10 paoli. In the early 19th century, copper ½ and 2 soldi were added, together with silver 1 and 10 lire.
