Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Ferdinando I (Casale) ND (1612-1626) coin from the Duchy of Mantua (Italian States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, typically copper, and was used to create a coin that was less expensive to produce than a solid silver coin, while still maintaining some of the durability and resistance of silver. This coin, in particular, weighs 2.00 grams and is a standard circulation coin, meaning it was widely used in everyday transactions during its time.
