Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Scudi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features an image of Victor Amadeus I, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1630 to 1636. He was a member of the House of Savoy, a royal family that ruled Italy for over a thousand years. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the Duke's image and reinforce his authority over the region.
