Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducati coin from the Duchy of Ferrara is that it features an image of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Este family on the other. The coin was minted during Alfonso's reign, which lasted from 1505 to 1534, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. The fact that it is made of gold and weighs 6.85 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
