Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Scudo d'oro - Giulia and Guidobaldo of Rovere ND (1534-1539) coin from the Duchy of Camerino is that it features the effigies of both Giulia and Guidobaldo of Rovere, who were the ruling couple of the duchy during that time. This is a unique feature, as most coins from that era only featured the image of a single ruler. The coin's design also includes the coat of arms of the Rovere family and the inscription "SCUDO D'ORO" which translates to "Gold Shield". This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, made even more special by its unique design and the story it tells about the ruling family of the Duchy of Camerino.
