Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tornesi coin from the Neapolitan Republic (1799) is that it was issued during a time of great political and social upheaval in Italy. The Neapolitan Republic was established in 1799 as a short-lived republican government, and this coin was minted during that time. The coin's design features the symbol of the Neapolitan Republic, which includes a shield with the letters "N" and "R" (for "Neapolitan Republic") surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
