| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Ferdinand II facing right, with short curly hair and a neatly trimmed beard, rendered in a neoclassical style. The Latin legend FERDINANDVS II. DEI GRATIA REX arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1844 appears in the lower exergue beneath the truncation. The portrait is finely engraved with strong relief, exhibiting considerable sculptural quality typical of Neapolitan royal coinage of the period. |
