Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features an image of King Carlo I d'Angio on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily. This coin was minted during Carlo's reign, which lasted from 1266 to 1285, and was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically including copper, silver, and sometimes gold. Despite its small weight of 0.60 grams, this coin is a significant piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
