Interesting fact
The 1 Picciolo coin from Camerino (Italian States) was minted during the reign of Duke Francesco Sforza, who was a prominent figure in the Italian Renaissance. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and his rule saw the flourishing of culture and commerce in the region. The coin itself is a testament to the economic and political changes that were taking place in Italy during this time period.
