Interesting fact
The ½ Filippo - Carlo III coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Carlo III (1728-1736), who implemented various economic reforms to stabilize the Duchy's finances and promote trade. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to align with the standardized currency system that was emerging across Europe during this period. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political shifts that were taking place in 18th century Europe.
