Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Cavalli coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The late 18th century was a period of Enlightenment and revolution, and the Kingdom of Naples was no exception. The coin's mintage coincided with the reign of Ferdinand IV, who ruled the kingdom from 1788 to 1792. During his reign, Ferdinand IV implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the kingdom and improving the lives of his subjects. These reforms included the establishment of a new constitution, the creation of a modern bureaucracy, and the promotion of education and the arts. Despite these efforts, the kingdom faced significant challenges, including economic difficulties and political unrest. The 4 Cavalli coin is a tangible reminder of this fascinating period in Italian history.
