Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Denari coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features an image of Victor Amedeus I, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1630 to 1637. He was a member of the House of Savoy, a royal family that ruled Italy for over a thousand years. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the Duke's image and reinforce his authority over the region.
