Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cinquina coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during the reign of Charles V, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Charles V to standardize currency across his territories, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Naples on the other. Despite its small size, the coin was made of silver and had a relatively high value, reflecting the wealth and power of the Kingdom of Naples during this period.
