Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Scudi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features an image of Victor Amadeus II, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1675 until his death in 1730. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the state, and his reign marked the beginning of the Savoyard dynasty's rise to power in Italy.
