Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Coronato coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was also known as Ferdinand the Catholic. He was a powerful king who played a significant role in the politics of Italy and Europe during his time, and his coinage reflects the influence and wealth of his kingdom. The 1 Coronato coin, made of silver and weighing 4.0 grams, would have been a significant denomination during its time and would have been used for large transactions and trade.
