Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Doppia coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it was minted during the reign of Victor Amadeus II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the economy of the region. The coin's design features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of Savoy on the other, symbolizing the unity and power of the duchy. Additionally, the coin's gold content and small weight make it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
