Francisco Franco
Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco Bahamonde (Spanish pronunciation: [fɾanˈθisko ˈfɾaŋko βa.aˈmonde]; 4 December 1892 – 20 November 1975) was a Spanish general and the Caudillo of Spain from 1936/1939 until his death in 1975. Coming from a military family background, he became the youngest general in Spain and one of the youngest generals in Europe in the 1920s.
As a conservative monarchist, he was shocked when the monarchy was removed and replaced with a republic in 1931. With the 1936 elections, the conservative Spanish Confederation of Autonomous Right-wing Groups lost by a narrow margin and the leftist Popular Front came to power. Looking to overthrow the republic, Franco and other generals staged a partially successful coup, which started the Spanish Civil War. With the death of the other generals, Franco quickly became his faction's only leader.
Franco's ultranationalist faction received military support from several fascist groups, especially Nazi Germany and the Kingdom of Italy, while the Republican side was supported by Spanish communists and anarchists. It also received help from the Soviet Union, Mexico, and the International Brigades. Leaving half a million dead, the war was eventually won by Franco in 1939. He established an autocratic dictatorship, which he defined as a totalitarian state. Franco proclaimed himself head of state and government under the title El Caudillo (the Chief), a term similar to Il Duce (Italian) and Der Führer (German). During the Francoist regime, only one political party was legal: a merger of the monarchist party and the fascist party that helped him during the war, FET y de las JONS.
Luccan franc
The franc was the currency of Lucca, issued between 1805 and 1808. It was equivalent to the French franc, alongside which it circulated, and was subdivided into 100 centesimi. In 1808, the French franc replaced local coins at par.

Coins
In 1805, silver 1 and 5 franc coins were introduced, followed by copper 3 and 5 centesimi in 1806.

Come and feel the vibe
He's given us the herb
Rising from under the earth
With soul we can unite
So give me and pass me the light
Throw away all your hate come, come with me
Well I see jah coming
So come gather round my children
Well I and I me try
To never let the fire die
So don't break the cipher
Be part of the unbreaking circle my friend
Throw away all your hate come jah with me
Another new day to
Understand as much as we can
As much as we can understand the love
We're high everywhere, we float in the air
We smoke and we float in the air of love
We're refillin' to jah brim
Well we'll see wa-wa-wa-wa-well yeah
We're refilling love within
Jah will see wa-wa-wa-wa-well yeah
Understand as much as we can
As much as we can understand the love
We're high everywhere, we float in the air
We smoke and we float in the air of love
Divided and we fall apart
I'll seal the hurt
We undivided
Gather all we smoke dem spliff again
We free again, in peace again
Understand as much as we can
As much as we can understand the love
We're high everywhere, we float in the air
