Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Scudi d'Oro - Francesco I 1631-1634 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Duchy of Modena and Reggio. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by Francesco I, who was trying to stabilize the economy and increase trade in the region. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to create a currency that would be seen as valuable and stable, and it reflects the importance of gold as a symbol of wealth and power during this time period.
