Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cavallotto coin from the Marquisate of Saluzzo is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" inside, which stands for Ludovico II, the ruler of the Marquisate at the time the coin was minted. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the Marquisate, adding an extra layer of detail and symbolism to the coin's design.
