Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Italy. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the Emperor of Austria and King of Lombardy-Venetia. This was a period of significant political and social unrest, as the Italian states were seeking greater autonomy and eventually, independence from Austrian rule. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy.
