Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "FERT" or "FERTI," a motto that means "fertile" or "fruitful" in Latin. This motto was used by the House of Savoy, the ruling family of the Duchy, and symbolized their desire for prosperity and abundance in their territories.
