Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 80 Lire - Victor Emmanuel I 1821 coin from the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Italy. The coin was issued in 1821, just a year after the Congress of Vienna, which saw the major powers of Europe gather to redraw the map of the continent following the Napoleonic Wars. The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, which was formed in 1720, was one of the many states that emerged from this period of upheaval, and the coin serves as a tangible reminder of this tumultuous time in European history.
