Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Grani - Ferdinando II 1835-1836 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 II, who was the King of the Two Sicilies from 1830 until his death in 1859. During his reign, there was a growing movement for Italian unification, which ultimately led to the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Italy during this time period.
