Interesting fact
The 1 Soldone coin from the Duchy of Mantua (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 4.4g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Charles VI, who was the last ruler of the House of Habsburg to rule over the Duchy of Mantua. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign, which aimed to stabilize the economy of the region. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin was still carefully crafted with detailed engravings and designs, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the mint's artisans.
