[1] From 1814 to 1866, however, this new currency was supplanted by the Lombardo-Venetian lira of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was based on the Austrian Conventionsthaler.
Use of this currency ended only after the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia was dissolved in 1866, in favor of solely the Italian lira.
Gold coins were also struck in denominations of 1 zecchino, ½ and 1 sovrano, and 1 doppia.
The Cispadane Republic issued gold 20 lire coins, whilst the Cisalpine Republic issued silver 30 soldi and 1 scudo coins.
