Comment
This legend states the sovereignty of Vittorio Amedeo II also on Sicily even if the island has been sold to Austria in exchange for Sardinia in 1720 with the Treaty of The Hague (a clear sign of protest to highlight the dissatisfaction in change occurred).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was minted during the reign of Victor Amadeus II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the economy of the kingdom. The coin's gold content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity, reflecting the kingdom's commitment to maintaining a stable and reliable currency.
