One interesting fact about the 2½ Doppia coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Emmanuel III, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, as well as his support for the arts and sciences. The coin's design, which features an image of the king on one side and the Piedmontese coat of arms on the other, reflects the cultural and political values of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and weighs 24.03 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
