Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Italy. The Cispadane Republic, which was established in 1796, was a short-lived state that emerged during the French Revolutionary Wars. The coin's design, which features a depiction of a woman representing liberty, symbolizes the revolutionary spirit of the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin's mintage was relatively low, with only 15,000 coins produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
