Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it was minted during the reign of Ranuccio I, who was the first Duke of Parma and Piacenza to issue coins with his own name and title.

The coin's design and materials reflect the economic and political significance of the Duchy during that time.
