Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Cavalli coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples, which includes a crowned lion holding a golden orb and scepter. This shield is placed above the number "2" in the coin's denomination, and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
