Interesting fact

The 10 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Milan, minted between 1723 and 1727 during the reign of Carlo VI, features an interesting aspect. Despite being made of silver, the coin was designed with a unique "sunken" or "sunk" relief technique. This method involved engraving the design onto the coin's surface, creating a lowered area that appears sunken compared to the surrounding fields. This style was popular during the Baroque period and adds a distinctive touch to the coin's aesthetic.
