Interesting fact

The 9 Cavalli coin from the Kingdom of Naples (Italian States) was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also the King of Naples at the time. The coin features an image of the king on horseback, with the inscription "CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA" (Charles III, by the grace of God) on the obverse, and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the reverse. The coin was minted in copper and has a weight of 4.7 grams. It's an interesting piece of history that gives us a glimpse into the political and economic context of the time.
