Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Rodolfo Gonzaga, who was the Duke of Castiglione delle Stiviere and Ancona in the late 16th century. The coin features an image of Gonzaga on one side and the coat of arms of the Gonzaga family on the other. This coin is a rare example of a billon coin, which is made from a mixture of copper and silver, and was used as a means of currency during that time period.
