Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinando IV, who ruled the Kingdom of Naples from 1792 to 1796. 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 60 Grana coin remained a popular form of currency throughout the Italian States and was widely used for everyday transactions.
