Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducatone - Vittorio Amedeo I (Type 2) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Duchy of Savoy. The coin was minted in 1632-1633, a period when the Duchy was facing economic and political challenges, including a devastating plague outbreak and conflicts with neighboring states.
