Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Francis Mary II, who was the last Duke of Urbino and ruled from 1574 to 1624. During his reign, he promoted art, literature, and science, and his court became a center of culture and learning. This coin, which features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of Urbino on the other, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of his reign.
