Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Scudi d'Oro coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio is that it was minted during the reign of Francesco I, who was the first Duke of Modena and Reggio to issue gold coins. This coin, made of .986 gold and weighing 14 grams, was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in the region at the time. The introduction of gold coins helped to establish Modena and Reggio as a major economic power in Italy and paved the way for future prosperity.
