Interesting fact

The 1 Luigino - Giulia Serra 1668 coin from the Principality of Campi (Italian States) is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of Giulia Serra, the wife of Prince Luigi II of Campi, on one side, and an image of the Prince himself on the other. This coin was minted during a time when women were not commonly featured on coins, making it a rare and interesting example of early feminine representation in numismatics.
