Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cavallo coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features an image of Charles VIII, who was the King of France from 1483 to 1498. This is notable because Charles VIII played a significant role in Italian politics during his reign, and his influence can be seen in the design of the coin.
