Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Scudi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features an image of Charles Emmanuel I, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1580 to 1630. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to expand the territory of Savoy, which eventually became a significant power in Italy. The coin's design was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a leader.
