One interesting fact about the 8 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Mantua is that it features an image of Ferdinando Gonzaga, the ruler of the duchy from 1612 to 1626, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Gonzaga family on the other. This coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, and weighs 2.42 grams.
