1 Carlino. Ferdinando I

Ferdinando I of Naples — known as Ferrante — ruled under perpetual dynastic suspicion, being the illegitimate son of Alfonso V of Aragon. The carlino denomination itself had roots in the earlier Angevin monetary system, which the Aragonese deliberately retained to ease acceptance among a population that had spent generations under French rule. Ferrante's silver issues are complicated by the political turbulence of his reign, including the Barons' Revolt of 1485–86, after which he famously had the defeated conspirators arrested during a reconciliation banquet.
