Interesting fact
The 1 Soldo coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, issued during the reign of Charles Emmanuel III (1768-1772), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common feature on coins issued by the Kingdom during this period, and it symbolized the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
