Interesting fact

The 1 Centesimo coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, featuring Francis Joseph I, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. This hole was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry the coin easily. This design also made it easier to distinguish from other coins, especially for the visually impaired.
