Interesting fact
The 1708 9 Deniers / 3 Quarts coin from the City of Geneva is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Victor Amadeus II, who was the Duke of Savoy and King of Sardinia. He ruled during a time of great turmoil, including the War of the Spanish Succession and the Great Northern War. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the House of Savoy and the city of Geneva.
