Interesting fact
The 10 Reali coin from the Kingdom of Sardinia, minted during the reign of Carlo II (1674-1689), features an interesting design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which was the ruling dynasty of the kingdom at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "DVX SARDE NATIVS" (Native Duke of Sardinia). This design feature highlights the importance of the ruling family and their connection to the land, and serves as a symbol of the kingdom's rich history and heritage.
