Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Scudi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Emmanuel II, who ruled from 1641 to 1643, a period marked by political instability and conflict with neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, with its gold content and intricate design making it a sought-after collector's item.
