Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an eagle on one side, which was a symbol of power and authority in the Patriarchate of Aquileia, a region in northeastern Italy. The eagle was also a symbol of the Caetani family, who were powerful nobles in the region and played a significant role in the history of the Patriarchate. The coin's design, featuring the eagle and the name of Anthony I Caetani, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
