Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carlino - Carlo VI 1715-1716 coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles VI, who was also known as Charles the Bewitched. He was the King of Spain and the Spanish Indies from 1700 until his death in 1746, and he also ruled the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Sicily from 1714 until his death. Despite his long reign, Charles VI faced many challenges, including the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714 and involved much of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Kingdom of Naples during his reign, including the 1 Carlino coin, remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
