Comment
As with all his coinage, this coin was minted under the name of Charles II, who did not consider his predecessor to have held the title until he died at the age of 8.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Demi-quart coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the Duke of Savoy from 1504 to 1553. During his rule, he implemented various reforms and modernized the economy of the Duchy, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. This coin, made of Billon and weighing 0.51g, was likely used for everyday transactions and reflects the economic growth and development of the region during that time.
