Interesting fact

The ½ Soldo coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maria Theresia (1741-1768) and features an image of the Archduchess on one side and the coat of arms of Gorizia on the other. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its age, rarity, and historical significance.
