Comment
Total mintage for all years is 163,200.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Soldo coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted during the reign of Victor Amadeus III, who was a key figure in the unification of Italy and played a significant role in the country's transition from a group of separate states to a unified nation. The coin's design, which features an image of Victor Amadeus III on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia on the other, reflects the political and cultural changes that were taking place in Italy during this time.
