Sardinian lira
It was subdivided into 100 centesimi (singular centesimo) and was equal in value to the French franc (4.5 grams of silver), which had previously been used as the currency of the Kingdom of Sardinia, having replaced the Piedmontese scudo by 1801.Similar to the majority of 19th century currencies, the Sardinian lira was not affected by significant episodes of inflation during all its existence.In 1816, King Victor Emmanuel I issued silver £5 and gold £20 coins.He also expanded the new currency in Sardinia which, not having been conquered by Napoleon, had retained its Sardinian scudo.On each coin, the ruling monarch was styled in Latin as King of Sardinia, Cyprus and Jerusalem by the Grace of God on the front side, and Duke of Savoy, Genoa and Montferrat, Prince of Piedmont et cetera on the back side.
