Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Grani - Ferdinando III 1801-1804 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The Kingdom of Sicily was a short-lived state that existed from 1806 to 1816, and during this time, there was a lot of political upheaval and conflict. Despite this, the coinage of the kingdom remained consistent and of high quality, with the 10 Grani coin being a prime example. It is a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of the people of the Kingdom of Sicily during a time of turmoil.
