Interesting fact
The 1 Demi doppia coin was minted during the reign of Duke Charles II of Parma, who ruled the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza from 1731 to 1749. The coin's design features the Duke's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Republic of Lucca on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the duchy's wealth and power.
