| Additional information |
Victor Amadeus II had just formalized his title as King of Sardinia in 1720, two years before this piece was struck, following the Utrecht settlement that swapped his short-lived Sicilian crown for the island of Sardinia. The small copper coinage of this transitional period was issued under Savoyard authority but reflects a duchy still calibrating its identity as a newly minted kingdom. KM#1 designations for Savoy copper of this reign are notoriously broad, often collapsing multiple die marriages into a single catalog entry.
