Duchy of Modena and Reggio (1452–1796)

The Duchy of Modena and Reggio was established in 1452 on the border between the Papal State and the Holy Roman Empire to serve as a sort of buffer between them. The duchy was offered to the House of d'Este, who had long ruled the city of Modena and the nearby region of Reggio Emilia. They were also the rulers of the papal duchy of Ferrara.

In 1597 the last d'Este duke, Alfonso II, died and his holdings passed to his cousin Cesare. He failed to retain Ferrara, as the Pope opposed it.

In 1796 Modena was occupied by Napoleon and became part of the Republic of Cispadana.

In 1814, after the fall of Napoleon, Duke Francis IV returned to his domain.

The last Duke of Modena, Francis V, fled in 1859 during the Italian Revolution, after which Modena united with Tuscany and Parma to form the "United Provinces of Central Italy". In March 1860, the United Provinces became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia and then the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.

The value of the coins is approximate. Most often, it is simply the price for which I once bought this particular coin.
