Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 120 Grana - Ferdinando I (Small head) 1818 coin from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was formed in 1816, and Ferdinand I was its first king. The coin was minted in 1818, just two years after the formation of the kingdom, and it features a portrait of Ferdinand I on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during a time of significant economic growth and development in the region, and it is a valuable piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
