Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Scudi d'Oro coin from the Duchy of Modena and Reggio is that it was minted during the reign of Francesco I, who was the first Duke of Modena and Reggio to issue gold coins. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1632 and features an image of Francesco I on one side and the coat of arms of the House of Este on the other. The coin's design was created by the artist Giovanni Bernardi, who was a prominent medallist and engraver of the time.
