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 in 1642, just a few years after the Thirty Years War had ended, and the region was still recovering from the devastation caused by the conflict. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made from gold, indicating the wealth and prosperity of the Duchy of Savoy.
