Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trillina - Ludovico XII (3 Lilies) coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the Duchy of Milan. The coin features an image of Ludovico XII, also known as Ludovico Sforza, who was the Duke of Milan from 1495 to 1508. During his reign, he patronized many artists and scholars, including Leonardo da Vinci, who created some of his most famous works during this time. The coin's design, featuring three lilies, is also significant, as it represents the coat of arms of the Sforza family, who ruled the Duchy of Milan for over a century.
