Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Centesimo coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia is that it features a unique design, showcasing the profile of Ferdinand I, the ruler of the kingdom at the time, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a departure from the traditional designs used on coins in the region, which typically featured religious symbols or images of past rulers. The use of a contemporary ruler's portrait on the coin was a bold move and reflected the growing influence of nationalism and secularism in the region during the 19th century.
