Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Doppiette coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1773-1774, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the political and social landscape of the continent. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia and its rich history.
