Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Testone coin from the Duchy of Mirandola is that it features an image of Alessandro I, the ruler of the duchy from 1617 to 1637, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of a mirror, which is a nod to the name "Mirandola," which means "mirror" in Italian. This design element serves as a symbol of the duchy's identity and history.
