Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Scudi - Ercole III 1763 coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio (Italian States) is that it features an image of Hercules, the mythological hero, on its obverse side. This design was chosen to symbolize the strength and power of the Duchy, which was a small but influential state in northern Italy during the 18th century. The coin's design also includes the coat of arms of the Este family, who ruled the Duchy at the time, and the inscription "ERCOLE III DVX MODENAE" (Hercules III, Duke of Modena). This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Italian States.
