Interesting fact

The 5 Grani - Carlo 1747 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 20.73g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King Charles VII of Naples, who ruled from 1734 to 1759. This coin was one of the many coins minted during his reign, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the kingdom. Despite being made of copper, it was still considered a valuable coin during that time.
