| Additional information |
Carlo V never set foot in Naples as its ruling monarch after consolidating Habsburg control, yet his coinage flooded the kingdom for decades. The cinquina — worth five grana — occupied the lowest tier of silver coinage in the Neapolitan monetary hierarchy, making it a workhorse denomination that passed through thousands of hands in daily market transactions. Survival in any condition above heavily worn is genuinely uncommon precisely because it circulated so hard.
The CNI XIX reference places this among a well-documented die sequence, but attributing individual pieces to specific years within the 1546–1556 window remains difficult without mint mark differentiation.
