Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Italy. The coin was issued in 1814, just a year after Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, which led to a major reorganization of Europe's political landscape. The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, which was previously a French client state, became an independent kingdom and began to issue its own currency. The 1 Doppia coin, made of gold and weighing 9.116 grams, was a significant symbol of the new kingdom's independence and economic power.
