1 Lira - Carlo Felice

Carlo Felice came to the Sardinian throne in 1821 partly as a consequence of his predecessor's forced abdication following the Carbonari-led constitutional revolt — a crisis that made the new king deeply hostile to liberal reform for the remainder of his reign. The lira denomination was reestablished under the Sardinian monetary system after Napoleonic disruption had thoroughly scrambled coinage across the peninsula.

Turin was the sole mint for this type. Carlo Felice died in 1831 without a direct heir, ending the senior Savoy line and passing the crown to the Carignano branch — Carlo Alberto, whose reforms would eventually unravel everything Carlo Felice had worked to suppress.
