Comment
Ref.: Crippa 10Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the Visconti family's emblem, while the reverse side features a cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends, which was a common motif in Renaissance art. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
