Interesting fact

The 2 Soldi coin from the County of Gorizia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 5.33g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Francesco II, who was the last ruler of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was minted in 1799-1802, a time of great political and social change in Europe, and it serves as a tangible reminder of the historical events that took place during that period.
