Comment

Minted in Chambéry (706,920 examples) and Bourg according to the order of April 10, 1560, at a size of 64.5 pieces per marc and a denomination of 5.6 deniers.
Information is lacking for Nice, but this is the workshop with the largest number of coins.
Coins from 1561 are more rarely found, as production seems to have been lower due to the monetary reform of 1562, which abandoned the gros system.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Monnaie frappée à Chambéry (706.920 exemplaires) et à Bourg selon ordonnance du 10 avril 1560 à la taille de 64,5 pièces au marc et au titre de 5,6 deniers.
Les informations manquent pour Nice, c'est pourtant celle que l'on retrouve en plus grand nombre pour cet atelier.
Les monnaies de 1561 se rencontrent plus rarement, la production semble avoir été moins nombreuse en raison de la réforme monétaire de 1562 abandonnant le système du gros.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Gros - Emmanuel-Philibert (3è type) coin from the Duchy of Savoy (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Emmanuel-Philibert, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1553 until his death in 1580. During his reign, the Duchy of Savoy experienced significant growth and prosperity, and the coinage issued during this time reflects the increased economic activity and trade in the region. The 3 Gros coin, in particular, was an important denomination that was widely used in everyday transactions, and its design and mintage reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
