Interesting fact

The 1 Pubblica coin from the Kingdom of Naples, minted during the reign of Philip IV (1622-1623), was made of copper and weighed 15.22 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a crowned shield with the Kingdom of Naples' coat of arms, while the reverse side features the denomination "1 PUBBLICA" surrounded by a wreath. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Italian States.
