Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Tornesi coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1797-1798, during the reign of Ferdinando IV, who was the King of Naples and Sicily. This was a period of significant change and conflict, as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars were taking place, leading to the overthrow of monarchies and the establishment of new governments across Europe. Despite this turmoil, the 5 Tornesi coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency in the Kingdom of Naples, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
