Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Reale coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Emmanuel III, who was the King of Sardinia from 1768 to 1772. During his reign, the kingdom faced challenges such as high taxation, economic instability, and political unrest, which ultimately led to the French Revolution and the end of the kingdom's independence. Despite these challenges, the ½ Reale coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
