Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Gianfrancesco II ND (1515-1533) coin from the Duchy of Mirandola is that it features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify the coin's value and to make it easier to thread onto a cord or chain, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This unique feature sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
