Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tornesi coin from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is that it was designed by the Italian engraver, Francesco Spajani. Spajani was a prominent artist and engraver of the time, and his work can be found on many coins and banknotes from the 19th century. The 3 Tornesi coin features an image of King Ferdinand II on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies on the other. The coin was minted from 1839 to 1858 and was widely used throughout the kingdom. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
