Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand Charles Gonzaga, who was the Duke of Mantua and Montferrat from 1701 to 1706. He was a member of the House of Gonzaga, a powerful noble family that ruled the Duchy of Mantua for over 400 years. The coin's design and mintage were likely overseen by the Duke himself, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of the time.
