Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Charles II 1693 from Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) coin is that it features an image of Charles II, who was known as "the Bewitched" due to his alleged mental health issues, which were believed to be caused by his mother's attempts to control him through magic.
