Comment
The motto (FERT) of the House of Savoy has several very different interpretations on Wikipedia , the first version is the one I have chosen , but the subject remains largely open to debate .
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Emmanuel III, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the state. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, billon, the coin was still considered a significant denomination at the time and was widely used in trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of traditional and modern elements, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
