Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Grana coin from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 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 II, who ruled the kingdom from 1848 to 1859. During this period, Italy was undergoing a process of unification, with various states and kingdoms being merged to form a single nation. The 10 Grana coin, which was widely used in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, features an image of Ferdinand II on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. Despite the political changes taking place during this time, the coin remained a stable and widely accepted form of currency throughout the region.
