Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it features an image of Ranuccio Farnese II, who was the Duke of Parma and Piacenza from 1646 until his death in 1694. He was a member of the powerful Farnese family, which had a significant impact on the history and culture of the region. The coin's design, which includes Ranuccio Farnese II's portrait, was likely meant to symbolize the power and authority of the duke and the Farnese dynasty.
