Interesting fact
The 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Mantua featuring Maria Theresia (1750-1757) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The Duchy of Mantua was a small state in northern Italy that was absorbed into the Austrian Empire in 1757, just a few years after this coin was minted. This coin may have been one of the last coins minted by the Duchy of Mantua before it was annexed by Austria, making it a unique piece of history.
