Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Louis XII ND (1500-1513) coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) is that it features a unique blend of French and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Louis XII of France, who ruled the Duchy of Milan during this time period, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the House of Sforza, the ruling family of the Duchy of Milan. This blending of French and Italian elements reflects the complex political and cultural ties between the two regions during this period of history.
