Interesting fact
The 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, featuring Alfonso IV d'Este, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Italy. The coin was minted between 1658 and 1662, a period when the Italian States were experiencing political instability and conflict, including the Fronde, a civil war in France that affected much of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 17th-century Italy.
