| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Victor Amadeus II facing right, wearing a long flowing periwig rendered in high relief with elaborate curls falling to the shoulder. The effigy is portrayed in the baroque courtly style typical of early 18th-century Savoyard coinage. A toothed border frames the coin. The Latin legend encircles the bust, reading VIC·AM·D·G·SIC·IER·ET·CYP·REX, proclaiming his title as King of Sicily, Jerusalem and Cyprus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Victor Amadeus II extracted Sardinia from Austria through the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, trading Sicily for it in 1720 — a calculated dynastic maneuver that would elevate him from Duke to King. This 1714 lira was struck in the transitional period when Savoy's ambitions were reshaping the political map of northern Italy, and the Turin mint was producing coinage for a ruler actively negotiating his own promotion in rank.
The MIR CS#885 designation places this firmly within the Savoyard series catalogued by the Corpus of Italian coinage. Biaggi#756 cross-reference confirms attribution to the 1714 dating specifically.
