Comment
Italian imitation in Liguria Conté From Dessana Delfino Tizzonné 1583 to 1592Interesting fact
The 1 Liard - Delfino 1585 coin from the County of Desana (Italian States) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the Renaissance period. Billon is a combination of silver and copper, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and it likely saw a lot of handling and transactions during its time in circulation. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 1.4 grams indicates that it was a relatively small coin, making it easy to handle and transport.
