Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Denari coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio is that it features an image of Ercole III d'Este, the Duke of Modena and Reggio, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Este family on the other. This coin was minted during his reign from 1780 to 1796 and was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the Italian States.
