Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carlino coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features a unique blend of Spanish and Italian influences in its design. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, who were the rulers of Aragon and Castile, respectively. The coin's design reflects this union, with the obverse side featuring the effigies of both monarchs, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples. This blend of Spanish and Italian elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
