The fiorino (plural: fiorini) was the currency of Tuscany between 1826 and 1859. It was subdivided into 100 quattrini (singular: quattrino), with an additional denomination called the paolo, worth 40 quattrini, 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 lira" (equal to the Sardinian lira), with 1 fiorino = 1.4 Italian lire.
Coins
Copper coins were struck in denominations of 1 and 3 quattrini, together with billon 5 and 10 quattrini, silver ½, 1 and 5 paolo, ¼, ½, 1 and 4 fiorini. Gold coins included the zecchino, ruspone and 80 fiorini (the latter two equalled 3 and 10 zecchini respectively).
