Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducaton - Ferdinando di Borbone 1784 coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first Duke of Parma and Piacenza and a member of the House of Bourbon. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand I on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively low weight compared to other coins of the time make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
