Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Ferdinand I (2nd type) ND (1458-1494) coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aragon, which was the ruling dynasty of Naples at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Anjou. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
