Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de la Savoie, utilisées par Victor Emmanuel II (1820-1878) en tant que premier roi de l'Italie unifiée, grâce à la politique orchestrée par son ministre le comte Cavour. Déjà roi du Piémont, de la Savoie et de la Sardaigne depuis 1849, suite à l'abdication de son père Charles-Albert qui faillit dans sa campagne contre les Autrichiens, Victor-Emmanuel prit le titre de roi d'Italie en 1861.
