Tuscany 1678 Piastra, Cosimo III, the next-to-last Medici duke. His wife, Marguerite Louise, was a cousin of Louis XIV of France who we have been seeing a lot on t360's coins. St. John the Baptist is the patron saint of Florence, and has figured on its coins (such as the gold florin) since medieval times. The scene of John baptizing his cousin Jesus has appeared intermittently on large silver coins of Florence/Tuscany since at least 1601.

Quote: Tuscany 1678 Piastra, Cosimo III... The Medici certainly had some interesting names. I think I'll name my next cat Cosimo III.

Hapsburg mandibular prognathism. Charles II of Spain (and Spanish Netherlands), who was Leopold's contemporary and was shown upthread in a 1679 token, had it even worse:  Inbreeding in the Hapsburg royal line was rampant. Leopold's parents were first cousins to each other. In the case of Charles II, his father married his niece.
