Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Filippo - Carlo II 1666 coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) made of Silver is that it features an image of King Philip II of Spain, who was also Duke of Milan, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Duchy of Milan was under Spanish rule, and it highlights the political and cultural influences that were present in the region during that period.
