Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Lire - Joachim Murat (Pattern) ND (1812-1813) from Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) made of Tin is that it was designed by the Italian engraver and artist, Giovanni Battista Gigante. Gigante was known for his work on various coins and medals during the 19th century, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Joachim Murat, the King of Naples, on one side, and an image of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and historical significance.
