Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Scudi coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio is that it features an image of Ercole III, the ruler of the duchy at the time, on one side, and an image of the Madonna and Child on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Italy, and its design reflects the cultural and religious values of the era.
