Interesting fact
The 120 Grana coin was minted during the reign of King Charles VI (Carlo VI) from 1731 to 1733. It was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed 25.5 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbols of the three kingdoms that made up the Kingdom of Naples: the Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of Naples, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. This design was used on many coins during this period and is a distinctive feature of Neapolitan coinage from this time.
