The crazia, plural Italian: crazie|italic=no (from the German: Kreuzer),[1] was an alloy coin with a value of 5 quattrini issued from the reign of Cosimo I de' Medici, first Grand Duke of Tuscany (1537 - 1574), onwards.
See also: History of coins in Italy. It was imitated by the Duchy of Urbino, the Cybo-Malaspina family at Massa, and the Appiani and Ludovisi families in the Principality of Piombino.[2]
An alloy coin of two Italian: crazie to the value of 10 quattrini was still being issued in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany under Leopold II (1765-1790), Ferdinand III in 1801 and Louis I of Etruria in 1802. After this date it was replaced by the 10 quattrini coin.
Later in the 19th century Tuscan postage stamps were issued in various values of Italian: crazie.
