Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinando di Borbone, who was the Duke of Parma and Piacenza from 1786 until 1796. The coin features an image of Ferdinando di Borbone on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Duchy at the time.
