Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from Genoa is that it features an image of Conrad II, who was the Duke of Mantua and Montferrat, and King of Bohemia. He was a prominent figure in European politics during the 17th century and played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's design was likely meant to commemorate his influence and legacy in the region.
