Interesting fact

The 10 Soldi coin from Bozzolo (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 2.53g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted during the reign of Duke Charles IV of Mantua, who ruled from 1636 to 1670. This period saw the rise of trade and commerce in Italy, and the development of new financial systems and institutions. The 10 Soldi coin was likely used in everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and shops of Bozzolo and other Italian cities. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a tangible reminder of the complex economic and political landscape of 17th century Italy.
