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. Charles Emmanuel II, the Duke of Savoy, ruled during a period of political and military upheaval, including the Thirty Years War and the War of the Spanish Succession. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the people of the region.
