| Additional information |
Charles Emmanuel IV issued this denomination during one of the most politically chaotic stretches in Piedmontese history. French forces had occupied much of the mainland territories by 1798, and the king was effectively ruling a collapsing state before abdicating in December 1798 and retreating to Sardinia. The billon coinage of these final years was struck under severe fiscal strain, with the monetary system of the mainland kingdom disintegrating around the mint as it operated.
The 7.6 soldi denomination itself reflects the awkward revaluation arithmetic forced on Piedmontese currency by French monetary pressure during the occupation period.
