Comment
Variations in the shape of the shield exist for this type: wide, medium and narrow. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 120 Grani - Ferdinando IV 1805 coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Kingdom of Naples was formed in 1735, and Ferdinand IV was its first king. He ruled from 1759 until his death in 1825, and during his reign, the kingdom faced challenges such as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Despite these challenges, the kingdom was able to maintain its independence and cultural identity, and the 120 Grani coin is a testament to that history.
