Comment
Interesting fact
The 1 Soldo coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) featuring Leopoldo II, which was minted between 1791 and 1792, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's design includes a small hole in the center of the reverse side, which was intentionally drilled during the minting process. This hole was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing the coin to be worn as an amulet or pendant. This unusual feature has led collectors to refer to this coin as the "Amulet Coin."
