Interesting fact
The Baiocchella - Rodolfo coin from Castiglione Delle Stiviere (Italian States) is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of a church on one side and the profile of a man on the other. This design was known as the "Fano type" and was used for a series of coins issued by the city of Fano in the late 16th century. The use of a church as a design element was a common feature of coins issued by Italian city-states during this period, as it symbolized the power and influence of the Catholic Church in the region.
