Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Johann Jakob Trivulzio, who was a powerful condottiero, or mercenary captain, in Italy during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He played a significant role in the political and military affairs of the region, and his coinage reflects his influence and power.
