Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Filiberto coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which represents the House of Savoy's coat of arms. This shield is placed below the bust of Emmanuel Philibert I, the Duke of Savoy, who ruled from 1553 to 1580. The inclusion of this shield was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the coin's connection to the House of Savoy and to emphasize the Duke's authority and power.
