Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 17.53g is that it features an image of Joachim Murat, who was a French military officer and Napoleon's brother-in-law, on one side, and an image of the Kingdom of Naples' coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Murat's reign as King of Naples from 1808 to 1815, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
