Interesting fact

The Principality of Belgioioso was a small state located in what is now the Lombardy region of Italy, and it was known for its rich history and culture. The Scudo coin that , which was issued in 1769 during the reign of Antonius I Barbianus, features an image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 28.05 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. It's interesting to note that the Principality of Belgioioso was a relatively short-lived state, as it was established in the late 17th century and was later annexed by the Austrian Empire in the early 19th century. Despite its brief existence, the principality left a lasting legacy in the form of its coins, which are now highly sought after by collectors.
