Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 30 Ducati - Ferdinando I 1818 coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The coin was issued in 1818, just a year after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was a newly formed state that resulted from the unification of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Naples, and the coinage of the region was still in the process of being standardized. The 30 Ducati coin, made of gold (.996) and weighing 37.87 grams, was a significant denomination at the time and reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in the region during this period.
