Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Victor Amadeus II 1680-1682 1 Doppia coin from the Duchy of Savoy (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "V" (for Victor Amadeus) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to commemorate the victory of Victor Amadeus II in the War of the Spanish Succession.
