Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ducato - Carlo V ND (1516-1554) coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the other. This coin was minted during Charles V's reign, which was a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Europe, and the coin's design reflects this aesthetic sensibility. The use of silver in the coin's composition also speaks to the value and prestige associated with this precious metal during this time period.
