Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Cavalli - Ferdinando IV 1804 coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The coin was issued in 1804, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the Italian peninsula. The coin's design, featuring three horses and the profile of King Ferdinand IV, reflects the influence of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, which were spreading across Europe at the time. This coin is a tangible piece of history that provides a glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of early 19th-century Italy.
