Commentary
En 1860, suite à la fuite des Grands-Duc de la maison des Habsbourg-Lorraine, la Toscane est ratachée au Piémont. Confortés par plusieurs plébiscites, Victor-Emmanuel II fait frapper à l’atelier de Florence des monnaies à son effigie avec la mention “Roi élu d’Italie”. Florence sera une éphémère capitale du Royaume d’Italie de 1865 à 1870, jusqu’à la prise de Rome..
In 1860, following the flight of the Grand Dukes of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, Tuscany was annexed to Piedmont. Encouraged by several plebiscites, Victor Emmanuel II had coins minted at the Florence mint bearing his image and the inscription \\\"Elected King of Italy.\\\" Florence served as the short-lived capital of the Kingdom of Italy from 1865 to 1870, until the fall of Rome.
