Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Bolognini - Ercole III d'Este 1783-1784 from Duchy of Modena and Reggio (Italian States) made of Billon (.133 silver) weighing 1.4 g is that it features an image of Ercole III d'Este, the Duke of Modena and Reggio, on one side, and an image of the Madonna and Child on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Italy, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of secularism in Europe during the late 18th century.
