Interesting fact
The 1 Soldo coin from the Duchy of Savoy, issued during the reign of Emmanuel Philibert I (1576-1581), features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier versions of the coin, making it a distinctive feature of this particular type.
