Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 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 1641, 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 this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that showcase the skill of the mint's craftsmen.
