Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Carlino coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was minted during the reign of Philip III, who was the King of Spain and the King of Naples at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Spanish Empire. The ½ Carlino coin was equivalent to half of a Carlino, which was the standard unit of currency in the Kingdom of Naples. Despite being a small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a significant value at the time. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
