Luccan Lira




In 1800, the French Franc was introduced, accompanied by the Luccan Franco from 1805.

The Luccan lira reappeared in 1826, replacing the Tuscan Lira when Tuscany introduced the Fiorino , although it contained less silver than the Tuscan lira had. Lucca was absorbed by Tuscany in 1847 and the lira was replaced by the fiorino at a rate of 1 fiorino = 2 lire.
