Emanuele Filiberto (1559–1580)

What this category covers

This is the place for the coins of Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Savoy from 1553, struck between 1559 and 1580: gold coins, such as the gold scudo, and silver coins. The name of each product gives the denomination, the year when it appears on the coin, the mint and the grade.

Background

Emanuele Filiberto recovered his states with the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1559 and moved the capital from Chambéry to Turin. He was succeeded by his son Carlo Emanuele I, whose coins are in the category Carlo Emanuele I (1580–1630).

The coins of the later rulers are in the parent category House of Savoy; for early coins of note see also Investments – Rarities.
