Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it was minted during the reign of Philip II, who was the Duke of Milan from 1578 to 1596. The coin was made of gold and was a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and mintage were influenced by the political and economic conditions of the time, and it's a great example of the craftsmanship and artistry of the Renaissance period.
