Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 6 Lire - Francis I 1816 from Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia (Italian States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 26 g is that it was designed by the Italian engraver and sculptor, Giovanni Antonio Scozzi. Scozzi was a prominent artist of the time and his work can be found in various museums and collections throughout Europe. The coin's design features a portrait of Francis I, the first emperor of Austria, on one side, and an image of the Austrian eagle on the other. The coin was minted in 1816, during Francis I's reign, and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
