Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty of Spain at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of Philip IV, and signifies the close political ties between the Duchy of Milan and the Spanish Empire.
