Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio is that it features an image of Francesco I, the ruler of the duchy from 1629 to 1658, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three horizontal stripes, representing the three main cities of the duchy: Modena, Reggio, and Rubiera. This design was used on many coins during Francesco's reign and has become a recognizable symbol of the duchy's history and heritage.
