Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sesino Lodovico II Pico 1550 coin from the Duchy of Mirandola is that it features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a monarch or a coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a dolphin, which was a symbol of the Pico family, who ruled the Duchy of Mirandola. This unique design choice adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and enthusiasts.
