Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Grana - Joachim Murat 1810 coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it features an image of Joachim Murat, who was a French military officer and Napoleon's brother-in-law, on one side, and an image of the Kingdom of Naples' coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Murat's reign as King of Naples, which lasted from 1808 to 1815.
