Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Scudo coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia is that it was minted during the reign of Francis Joseph I, who was the Emperor of Austria and King of Lombardy-Venetia at the time. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a brief period of political union between the Austrian Empire and the Italian States.
