Interesting fact
The ½ Soldo coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.4g was minted during the reign of Francesco II (1792-1799). It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe, with the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte taking place during the same period. The coin's design, featuring an image of Francesco II on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Gorizia on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
