Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trillina - Carlo V (I type) ND (1535-1556) coin from the Duchy of Milan (Italian States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the Renaissance period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a cost-effective way for the Duchy of Milan to produce a large number of coins without sacrificing their durability.
