Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Massa-Carrara is that it features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify that it was made of gold, as gold was considered a valuable and precious metal at the time. The hole was also used as a way to test the authenticity of the coin, as it was difficult to counterfeit a coin with a small hole in the center. This unique feature makes the 2 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Massa-Carrara stand out among other coins from the same time period.
