Interesting fact

The 1 Zecchino 1622 from Maccagno (Italian States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Italy, with the coinage of Maccagno being replaced by the standardized currency of the Papal States in the late 16th century. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
