Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Duchy of Ferrara is that it features an image of Alphonso I, the first Duke of Ferrara, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Este family, who ruled the duchy, on the other. This coin was minted during Alphonso's reign, which lasted from 1505 to 1534, and was likely used for everyday transactions in the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Italian States.
