One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Scudo - Charles Emmanuel I (Type 2) ND (1580-1630) from Duchy of Savoy (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 23.54 g is that it features a unique design that reflects the history and culture of the Duchy of Savoy during the 16th century. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Charles Emmanuel I, the Duke of Savoy, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Savoy, which includes a shield with the symbols of the House of Savoy and the motto "FERT" (Latin for "he fertilizes").
