Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Testone coin from the Marquisate of Saluzzo is that it features an image of Francesco I, the Marquis of Saluzzo, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Marquisate on the other. This coin was minted during Francesco's reign from 1529 to 1537 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. The fact that it is made of silver and weighs 9.15 grams adds to its historical significance and value as a collector's item.
