Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Viennois - Charles I (2nd Type) ND (1482-1490) from Duchy of Savoy (Savoy (France), French States) made of Billon weighing 0.78 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of Charles I, Duke of Savoy, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the House of Savoy. This coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the growing power of the Savoyard state. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
