Interesting fact
The 5 Centesimi coin from the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, featuring Francis Joseph I, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. This hole was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to wear the coin as a pendant or amulet. This practice was especially popular among the working class, who believed that carrying a coin with the image of the ruler would bring them good luck and protection.
