| Additional information |
Federico III inherited a kingdom already hollowed out by decades of Aragonese dynastic conflict and French invasion. His reign lasted just five years before Louis XII of France and Ferdinand II of Aragon carved Naples between them in the Treaty of Granada in 1500, with Federico surrendering personally to the French in 1501. These copper sestini were struck against that backdrop of terminal instability — a government minting small change while negotiating its own extinction.
Federico died in French exile in 1504, the last independent King of Naples for over two centuries.
