Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Amadeus V, who was the Count of Savoy from 1297 to 1323, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of both the County of Savoy and the French States. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its age and historical significance.
