Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Soldi coin from the Duchy of Savoy is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "V" (for Victor Amadeus II) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design during the second type of Victor Amadeus II's reign, which lasted from 1700 to 1709.
