Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it was issued during the reign of Charles VI, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Charles VI to standardize currency across the various territories under his rule, and it features an image of the emperor on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan on the other. Despite being a relatively small coin, it is a significant piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
