Interesting fact
The 1 Soldo coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 1.90g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles Emmanuel IV, who was the King of Sardinia from 1797 to 1802. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the French Revolution was taking place and many European monarchies were being overthrown. Despite this, the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia managed to maintain its independence and continue to issue its own currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of that turbulent time in history.
