Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Grana - Ferdinando III 1795 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small crown on the obverse side, which was added to symbolize the kingdom's new constitutional monarchy government. This design change was a significant departure from the previous coins issued under the absolute monarchy, and it reflects the political and social changes that were taking place in the kingdom during that time.
