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 1815, just a few years 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 established in 1720, was one of the few Italian states that managed to maintain its independence during this time, and the 1 Doppia coin is a testament to the kingdom's economic and political stability during this period.
