Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it features an image of Louis XII, who was the King of France from 1498 to 1513, despite the coin being issued by the Duchy of Milan, which was a separate political entity. This highlights the complex political and cultural ties between different regions and powers during the Renaissance period.
