Interesting fact
The Baiocchella - Rodolfo coin from Castiglione Delle Stiviere (Italian States) is notable for its unique design, which features a crowned shield with the initials "SIXTVS" on one side and the letters "MONETA" on the other. This design was used during the reign of Duke Rodolfo of Montalto, who ruled the region from 1582 to 1592. The coin's design and the use of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, were typical of coins produced during this time period in Italy.
