Interesting fact
The Soldino - Louis XII ND (1511-1512) coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 1.07 g is interesting because it features an image of King Louis XII of France, who ruled the Duchy of Milan from 1500 to 1512. This coin was minted during his reign and was used as a means of payment throughout the duchy. Despite its small weight, it was an important coin in its time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
