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
One interesting fact about the Gold Rider 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 sought to promote trade and commerce in the region, which led to the minting of this coin as a means of facilitating economic transactions. The coin's design features an image of Charles III on horseback, which symbolizes his leadership and power. Additionally, the coin's gold content and weight of 3.47 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
