Interesting fact
The 1 Ducatone coin from the Duchy of Mirandola, issued during the reign of Alessandro II (1637-1691), features an interesting aspect. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the duke himself, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Mirandola, which includes a depiction of a mirror. This is a nod to the name "Mirandola," which means "mirror" in Italian. This design element serves as a clever play on words and adds a unique touch to the coin's design.
