Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Lira - Maria Luigia 1815 coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it was minted during the reign of Marie Louise, the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duchess of Parma from 1814 to 1847. The coin features an image of Marie Louise on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively low weight of 5 grams also make it a notable piece in the history of coinage.
