Weight: 23.5-27.8gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The reign of Filippo IV (1621-1665) saw a number of conflicts, including the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714, and the plague that swept through the kingdom in 1656, killing a significant portion of the population. Despite these challenges, the kingdom continued to mint coins, such as this 10 Reali, which were used for everyday transactions.
