Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Grani - Ferdinando II 1836 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The coin was issued in 1836, just a few years before the Kingdom of Sicily was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, which eventually led to the unification of Italy in 1861. This coin is a tangible piece of history that represents a significant moment in the country's transition towards a unified nation.
