Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 ongaro coin from the Marquisate of Tresana is that it features an image of Guglielmo I Malaspina, who was the Marquis of Tresana from 1619 to 1622. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
