Comment
As for his whole coinage, this coin is struck under the name of Charles II who did not consider his predecessor as having held the title before dying at the age 8.Interesting fact
The Ducat - Charles III ND (1504-1553) from Duchy of Savoy (Savoy (France), French States) made of Gold weighing 3.46 g is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Duchy of Savoy was an independent state, before it became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont and later, Italy.
