Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 bolognini - Albéric Ier 1575 from Duchy of Massa-Carrara (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 2.13 g is that it was minted during the reign of Duke Alberico I Cybo-Malaspina, who ruled the Duchy of Massa-Carrara from 1554 to 1623. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or other base metals. The coin's design features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Cybo-Malaspina family on the other.
