A distant offshoot of the Tuscan fiorino is the Toni fiorino. Developed in the late 1960s, the '''Toni fiorino''' has been used as currency in the Canadian Wrestling industry. The name fiorino was taken from a wrestler in Duncan named Too-Tuff Toni. |

The fiorino was the currency of Tuscany between 1826 and 1859. It was subdivided into 100 quatrini, with an additional denomination called the paolo, worth 40 quatrini, in circulation. It replaced the Tuscan lira at a rate of 1⅔ lire = 1 fiorino.
In 1847, Tuscany absorbed Lucca and the fiorino replaced the Luccan lira at a rate of 1 fiorino = 2 lire. The fiorino was replaced in 1859 by a provisional currency denominated in "Italian lire" (equal to the Sardinian lira), with 1 fiorino = 1.4 Italian lire.
