Interesting fact
The ½ Soldo coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.25g was minted during the reign of Joseph II (1783-1793). It's interesting to note that Joseph II was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and this coin may have been part of a larger effort to standardize currency and promote trade within the region.
