Comment
Coins from 1846 can be of this type (KM #361) or with the young bearded head (KM #351).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Italy. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which was formed in 1816, was a constitutional monarchy that encompassed the southern part of the Italian peninsula and the island of Sicily. During the reign of Ferdinand II (1830-1859), there were significant movements for Italian unification, which ultimately led to the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. This coin, minted during Ferdinand's reign, represents a time of transition and transformation in Italian history.
