Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Emmanuel I, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1580 to 1630. During his rule, he implemented various reforms and military campaigns, which had a significant impact on the region's economy and politics. This coin, which was made of Billon (a silver-copper alloy) and weighed 0.83 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the Duchy of Savoy during that time period.
