Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinando II, who was the Duke of Mantua and Montferrat from 1665 until his death in 1692. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and this coin featuring his arms is a reflection of his influence and power during that time.
