| Obverse description | Draped and laureate bust of Emperor Charles VI facing right, with flowing periwig, rendered in high relief in the Baroque style. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted at lower left by the mint officials' initials MF and A, and at the base by the initials G·G·. The effigy is finely detailed, with the laurel wreath, curled wig locks, and armored drapery clearly articulated. The coin's milled border frames the design with a beaded inner circle. |

| Additional information |
Carlo VI ruled Naples as Holy Roman Emperor rather than as a resident monarch — the kingdom was administered through viceroys while he remained in Vienna, a arrangement that bred chronic fiscal instability and periodic currency debasement. The 60 Grana denomination was part of a broader Neapolitan monetary reform tied to imperial administrative pressure rather than local economic need.
