Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand IV, who was only 18 years old at the time. Despite his young age, Ferdinand IV was known for his progressive policies and his efforts to modernize the kingdom. This coin, which was minted in 1784-1785, is a reflection of the economic and political changes that were taking place during his reign.
