Commentary
Le demi-scudo nuovo vaut 3 lires piémontaises et la lira 20 soldi. La doppia en or correspond à 4 scudi de 6 lires. La fabrication du nouveau monnayage a commencé en 1755 et dure jusqu'en 1772. Le type est créé suite à l'ordonnance du 25 janvier 1755. Au total 3.874.319 pièces furent frappées entre 1755 et 1772.
