Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1581 Charles Emmanuel I 1 Doppia coin from the Duchy of Savoy (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which was the ruling dynasty of the region at the time. This shield is placed above the king's crown on the obverse side of the coin, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, making it a valuable collector's item for those interested in the history of the region and its ruling families.
