Commentary

Ce type est fabriqué suite au décret du 9 février 1850. Ces pièces furent démonétisées par l'arrêt du 21 décembre 1927. Seulement un peu plus de 20.000 pièces furent frappées entre 1850 et 1860 pour Gênes (600 pièces) et Turin ce qui explique la rareté de ce type.
This type was produced following the decree of February 9, 1850. These coins were demonetized by the decree of December 21, 1927. Only a little more than 20,000 coins were minted between 1850 and 1860 for Genoa (600 coins) and Turin, which explains the rarity of this type.
