Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Bronze weighing 0.75g is that it features an image of Ferdinand II, who was the King of Sicily from 1479 to 1516. During his reign, he worked to strengthen the economy and military of the kingdom, and this coin was likely used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce during that time.
