Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sestino - Federico III ND (1496-1501) coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it features an image of King Frederick III on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Italy, as the Renaissance was spreading across the region and the powerful city-states of Florence, Venice, and Milan were rising to prominence. Despite the turmoil of this period, the Kingdom of Naples was able to maintain its independence and cultural identity, as reflected in the design of this coin.
