| Additional information |
Carlo Alberto's gold 10 Lire was produced under the Savoy monetary system that would later form the backbone of unified Italian coinage — the lira decimale established by his 1816 predecessor reforms carried forward into his own reign. Two die variants account for the KM split: differences in the truncation detail below the portrait neck separate the earlier from the later production, a distinction confirmed through careful die study rather than any recorded mint change.
Carlo Alberto abdicated in March 1849 following the disaster at Novara, making the 1847 terminus of this type a quiet prelude to dynastic humiliation.
