Interesting fact
The 5 Grani - Carlo 1737 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Charles VII of Naples, who was also known as Charles III of Spain. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured a unique design, including a portrait of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition also adds to its historical significance, as it was a valuable and widely used metal in the 18th century.
