Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grano - Ferdinando III 1814-1815 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand III, who was the King of Sicily from 1814 to 1815, and it was a time of significant upheaval in the region. The Congress of Vienna, which took place in 1815, led to the reorganization of Europe and the redrawing of borders, which had a significant impact on the Italian states. Despite this turmoil, the 1 Grano coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
