Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cagliarese coin from the Kingdom of Sardinia is that it was minted during the reign of Filippo III, who was the Duke of Savoy and King of Sardinia from 1598 to 1621. During his reign, he implemented various economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which led to the minting of this particular coin. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, and it weighed 0.7 grams. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
