Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Tornesi - Ferdinando IV (Pattern) 1796 from Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 23g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was minted as a pattern, or a trial coin, to test the design and production process, but it was ultimately not approved for use. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
