Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Giulio Cesare da Varano, the Lord of Camerino, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Varano family. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Italy, when many city-states were fighting for power and control. Despite this, the Lordship of Camerino managed to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, which is a testament to its economic and political strength at the time.
