Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Liard - Delfino coin from the County of Desana (Italian States) is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its design. The crowned "H" on one side and the cross of fleur de lis on the other side represent the dual authority of the Holy Roman Empire and the Church, reflecting the complex political and religious landscape of Europe during the 16th century.
