Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Tornesi coin from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 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 implemented during the reign of King Ferdinand II, who ruled from 1832 to 1835, and was a significant departure from the previous coinage designs of the kingdom.
