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 great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was issued during the reign of Victor Amadeus III, who was a key figure in the unification of Italy and played a significant role in the country's transition from a number of small states to a single, unified nation. The coin's minting was a result of the economic reforms implemented by Victor Amadeus III, which aimed to standardize the currency and promote trade across the region.
