Italian States 1753 Lucca Scudo Extra Fine (EF40)
The Republic of Lucca was a small but resilient city-state in Tuscany, Italy, that existed from the early Middle Ages until 1799. Centered on the city of Lucca, it maintained its independence despite the rise of powerful neighbors like Florence, Pisa, and later the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Known for its thriving silk industry, Lucca became a wealthy and influential trading hub in medieval Europe. Its republican government, often dominated by wealthy merchant families, prided itself on autonomy and stability, and the city’s formidable Renaissance walls—still standing today—symbolized its determination to remain free.
Obverse: The Crowned Republic Arms with supporters, with the legend around, and the date below.
Reverse: St. Martin on horseback, lending "the shirt off his back" in the form of a cloak to a beggar.
