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, Duke of Savoy, who was known for his ambitious projects and patronage of the arts. The coin's design features a horseman on the obverse, symbolizing the duke's power and influence. Despite its small weight, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce during its time and remains a valuable collector's item today.
