Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Scudi d'Oro coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Savoy. Charles Emmanuel II, who ruled from 1649-1652, was facing challenges from foreign powers and internal conflicts, which led to the coin's production being halted temporarily. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a symbol of the Duchy's rich cultural heritage.
