Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carlino coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features an image of King 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 lasted from 1528 to 1548, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. Despite its small weight of 3.1 grams, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a significant value at the time.
