Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand IV, who ruled from 1788 to 1798, a period marked by the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. This coin was one of the last issues of the Kingdom of Naples before it was annexed by France in 1808, and it features an image of Ferdinand IV on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the era.
