Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 15 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "V" (for Victor Amadeus II) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and issuing authority.
