Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was issued during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinando IV, who was the King of Naples from 1796 to 1798. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the French Revolution was taking place and many European monarchies were facing pressure from their subjects to adopt more democratic forms of government. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Naples continued to issue coins like the 60 Grana, which were used for everyday transactions and reflected the economic and cultural values of the time.
