Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Soldo coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Emmanuel III, who was known for his military campaigns and territorial expansion, and the coin's design reflects this history. The obverse side of the coin features an image of the king in military attire, with a sword in his hand and a crown on his head, symbolizing his power and leadership. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Savoy, which includes a shield with the symbols of the House of Savoy and the motto "Fortitudo mea in brachijs tuis" (My strength is in your arms), signifying the kingdom's loyalty to the House of Savoy. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Duchy of Savoy and the Italian States.
