Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Scudo coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first king of a unified Italy. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia on the other. This coin is a symbol of the transition from a collection of separate states to a unified nation, and it is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy.
