Interesting fact

The ½ Ducatone coin from the Duchy of Mantua (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 15.04 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Carlo I, who was the first Duke of Mantua to issue coins in his own name, indicating a shift in power from the Holy Roman Emperor to the local rulers.
