Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 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 Spanish Empire, which was a departure from the traditional designs used on coins of the time. This shield was added to signify the influence of Spanish rule over the Kingdom of Naples during the reign of Charles V.
