Comment
Many varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features an image of King Roberto (also known as Robert of Anjou) on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples. This coin was minted during Roberto's reign, which lasted from 1309 to 1343, and was likely used for everyday transactions in the kingdom. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Italy.
