Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Carlini - Neapolitan Republic 7 (1798) coin is that it was minted during a brief period of political upheaval in the Kingdom of Naples. In 1798, a republican uprising led to the establishment of the Parthenopean Republic, which lasted for only six months before the monarchy was restored. This coin was minted during that short period, making it a unique piece of history.
