Interesting fact

The 4 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Massa-Carrara, issued in 1792 during the reign of Maria Beatrice, is interesting because it was one of the smallest silver coins minted during that time, with a weight of only 1.06 grams. Despite its small size, it was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in the Italian States.
