Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Carlo V ND (1529-1531) coin from Asti (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "A" on the reverse side, which represents the city of Asti. This coin was minted during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and its design was influenced by the Renaissance art movement that was popular during that time period.
