| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinando II's second portrait coinage followed a significant renegotiation of the Two Sicilies mint operations in the late 1830s, part of broader fiscal tightening after the king suppressed the Sicilian constitutional movement and consolidated Bourbon authority over both halves of his kingdom. The 60 Grana denomination was the workhorse of Neapolitan silver commerce — roughly equivalent to half a Piastra — and circulated heavily in both Naples and Palermo throughout the 1840s.
The shift to the second portrait type is documented in MIR as a die revision rather than a policy change, making transitional pieces from 1841 worth examining closely for the intermediate punch characteristics.
