Comment
The mint letter (L or P) can be found on the diamond mintmark at the lower left of the reverse.Interesting fact
The 3 Centesimi coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 6g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Charles Felix, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of the kingdom. This coin was part of a larger effort to standardize currency across the Italian states, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. Despite being a small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday transactions and is now a sought-after collector's item.
