Interesting fact
The ½ Soldo coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.13g was minted during the reign of Joseph II (1788-1789). It's interesting to note that Joseph II was known for his attempts to modernize and centralize the government, and this coin may have been part of an effort to standardize currency across the Italian States.
