Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2.6 Soldi - Charles Emmanuel III 1744-1750 from Duchy of Savoy (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 3.20 g is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The Duchy of Savoy was a powerful state in northern Italy that played a crucial role in the political and military conflicts of the time. The coin's minting during this period reflects the growing influence of the Duchy and its rulers, including Charles Emmanuel III, who was known for his military campaigns and diplomatic alliances. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles Emmanuel III on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Savoy on the other, symbolizes the power and prestige of the ruling family and the state they governed.
