Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Parpagliola coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "M" (for "Maria") on the reverse side, which was added to commemorate the marriage of Emmanuel Philibert I to Margaret of Austria in 1577.
