Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducati coin from the Duchy of Mirandola is that it features an image of Gianfrancesco II, the ruler of the duchy from 1515 to 1533, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The coin was made of gold and weighed 6.6 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
