Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional coat of arms or symbol of the ruling family, this coin bears an image of a snake wrapped around a staff, which was a symbol of the House of Bourbon. This design was used during the reign of Philip I, who ruled the duchy from 1748 to 1765. The use of this symbol was a nod to the ruling family's connection to the Bourbon dynasty, which had a long history in Europe and was known for its powerful and influential leaders.
