Comment
Minted to celebrate the Convention of Alessandria (15 June 1800 = 27 pratile VIII) after the victory of French Army in the Battle of Marengo.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo, 6 Lire 8 (1800) coin from the Cisalpine Republic is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Cisalpine Republic was established in 1797 as a client state of Napoleon's France, and it encompassed much of northern Italy. The coin was minted in 1800, just a year before the Cisalpine Republic was renamed the Italian Republic and became a fully-fledged state. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Italy during this time period.
