Comment

Many variations on the legend may be present including errors in punctuation. Variations on the final part of the spear that can end with a weather vane, a cross or circles. Variations on the figure of the Archangel which may or may not a halo or armored and the figure of the dragon and the point where it is pierced by the lance. The R / the legend can be broken in different ways.

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 3.8 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and shops of Naples during the late 15th century.
