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, who ruled from 1639-1644, was facing challenges from both within and outside his territory, including conflicts with neighboring states and the threat of the Thirty Years War. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duchy of Savoy and its rich history.
