Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Soldi - Maria Theresa 1750-1763 coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, who was known for her extensive reforms and modernization efforts in the Austrian Empire. This coin, made of Billon and weighing 3.0 grams, was a standard circulation coin during her reign and features an image of the Empress on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan on the other. Despite being minted over 250 years ago, many of these coins have survived and are still highly sought after by collectors today.
