Interesting fact
The 6 Tornesi coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) features an image of Napoleon I on one side and an image of the crowned shield of the Two Sicilies on the other. This coin was minted during Napoleon's brief rule over the kingdom, which lasted from 1799 to 1801. Despite his short reign, Napoleon's influence on the region was significant, and this coin serves as a reminder of that period in history.
