Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Mantua is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was a member of the House of Gonzaga, a powerful noble family in Italy. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand I on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Mantua on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Gonzaga family, who ruled over the Duchy of Mantua for several centuries.
