Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the ruling family, the House of Sforza, on the reverse side. This shield is a distinctive feature of the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
