Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Grossi 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 stands for "FERT" or "FERTI," indicating that the coin was minted in the city of Turin (in Italian, "Torino"). This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy. This distinctive feature helps to distinguish the 2 Grossi coin from other coins minted in different cities within the Italian States.
