Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Bolognino - Ercole III d'Este 1783-1784 coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Este family crest, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was a symbol of the ruling family's power and influence in the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period.
