One interesting fact about the 1 Reale - Carlo II 1689-1699 coin from the Kingdom of Sardinia (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which was the ruling dynasty of the kingdom at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned shield with the arms of Sardinia. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, and highlights the importance of the ruling family's heritage and legacy.
