Interesting fact

The 1 Soldo coin from the Kingdom of Sardinia (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 2.74g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Philip IV (Filippo IV) who ruled from 1621 to 1665. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign to address the economic needs of the kingdom and to promote trade. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Italian coinage.
