Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tornesi coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during the reign of King Charles VII (Carlo 1750-1757), who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government of the kingdom, which had been fragmented and disorganized for many years. This coin, made of copper and weighing 9.8 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the markets and shops of Naples during that time.
