Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Savoy. Charles Emmanuel I was facing financial difficulties and was forced to debase the coinage, which led to a significant decrease in the value of the Soldo. Despite this, the coin still maintains a unique historical significance and is highly sought after by collectors today.
