Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from the Duchy of Mantua is that it features an image of Ferdinando Carlo, who was the ruler of the duchy from 1703 to 1707. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Gonzaga family, who ruled the duchy for centuries. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the political and cultural heritage of the region during that time period.
