Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Grana coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 2.09g is that it was issued during the reign of King Charles II (1688-1690), who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Neapolitan economy. This coin was part of a larger series of reforms that aimed to standardize the currency and promote trade within the kingdom. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Italian States.
