Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Soldo coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which stands for "Filiberto," the name of the Duke who ruled during that time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
