| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco II ascended the Neapolitan throne in May 1859, just as the Second Italian War of Independence was dismantling the political order that had kept the Bourbon kingdom intact. This 10 Tornesi was struck during what proved to be the final year of independent coinage for the Two Sicilies — Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand landed in Sicily the following year, and by late 1860 the kingdom had ceased to exist as a sovereign entity.
The tornesi denomination itself was ancient by 1859, traceable to the Angevin period in Naples. Francesco II struck it for barely a year before the mint passed to unified Italian administration.
