Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Denari coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features an image of Victor Amadeus II, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1725 to 1730. 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 created by a skilled engraver or artist of the time, and it provides a glimpse into the artistic and cultural traditions of the period. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by the general population, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
