Contrefaçon du sesino de Venise.

En 1611, les Mazzetti sont privés du fief de Frinco et du droit de battre monnaie en raison des nombreuses contrefaçons effectuées dans leur atelier par Rodolfo II.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 sesino - Anonyme ND (1581-1601) from Lordship of Frinco (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 0.85 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted during the reign of Duke Alfonso II d'Este, who ruled the Duchy of Ferrara from 1559 to 1597. During his reign, Alfonso II implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The 1 sesino coin was part of this new system and was widely used in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
