Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 20 Soldi - Carlo VI 1714-1736 from Duchy of Mantua (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 4 g is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was the Duke of Mantua from 1714 to 1736. During his rule, he promoted the arts and culture, and this coin is a reflection of that, with its intricate design and craftsmanship. Additionally, the use of Billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of metals, was a common practice during this time period, and this coin is a unique example of that.
