Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Filippo - Maria Theresa 1741-1749 coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. She was known for her efforts to centralize power and reform the government, which led to conflicts with neighboring countries and the eventual involvement of the Duchy of Milan in the Seven Years' War. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
