Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Grana - Francesco I 1826 coin from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned shield with the Bourbon coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and topped with a crown. This design was used specifically for coins minted during the reign of King Francesco I, who ruled the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies from 1825 to 1830. The use of the Bourbon coat of arms on the coin highlights the kingdom's connection to the Bourbon dynasty, which played a significant role in the history of Italy during that time.
