Interesting fact

The ¼ Scudo coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Republic of Piedmont was established in 1798, and it was a short-lived state that lasted only until 1799. Despite its brief existence, the republic played an important role in the history of Italy, as it was a precursor to the modern Italian state. The ¼ Scudo coin is a tangible reminder of this period of transformation and political experimentation.
