Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Cinquine coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was minted during the reign of Philip III, who was the King of Spain and the King of Naples simultaneously. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Italian States. The 3 Cinquine coin was equivalent to 30 grana, and it was widely used in everyday transactions. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in size, weighing only 2.07 grams. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and it is highly sought after by numismatists.
