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. This coin, made of Billon and weighing 1.49g, features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Farnese family on the other. The coin's design and materials reflect the economic and political significance of the Duchy during that time.
