Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and unification in Italy. The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, which was established in 1720, was a state that existed until 1861, when it became a part of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy. This coin, minted during the reign of Victor Emmanuel II, was a symbol of the unification movement that was taking place during that time. The coin's design features the image of Victor Emmanuel II on one side and the coat of arms of the House of Savoy on the other, representing the unity of the Italian states under the Savoy monarchy.
