Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro - Manfred (M gothic with cross) ND coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during the reign of King Manfred, who ruled the kingdom from 1258 to 1266. Despite being a relatively short reign, Manfred's coinage has been found to be quite extensive, with several different denominations and designs, including the Denaro - Manfred (M gothic with cross) ND coin. This suggests that Manfred placed a significant emphasis on the production of coinage during his reign, which may have been an attempt to promote trade and commerce within the kingdom.
