Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Mantua is that it features an image of Carlo II Gonzaga, who was the ruler of the duchy from 1637 to 1647. He was a member of the powerful Gonzaga family, who ruled Mantua for over 400 years and were known for their patronage of the arts and their military prowess. The coin's design, which includes an image of Carlo II in profile, surrounded by intricate details and inscriptions, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Gonzaga dynasty.
