Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "A" in the center, which represents the name of the ruler, Alexander Farnese. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the Farnese family, adding an extra layer of detail and symbolism to the coin's design.
