Italian States Naples & Sicily 120 Grana 1825 XF45 NGC

The Italian States Naples & Sicily 120 Grana 1825 is a historic silver crown-sized coin struck during the reign of King Francesco I of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of the monarch, while the reverse displays the ornate crowned Bourbon coat of arms surrounded by the legends of the kingdom. Issued during a period of political stability in southern Italy, the 120 Grana served as an important high-denomination silver coin in circulation and remains one of the most popular crown-sized issues of the Italian States series.

This example has been certified XF45 by NGC, indicating a pleasing Extremely Fine specimen with moderate circulation wear and strong remaining design detail. Struck in .833 fine silver, the coin weighs 27.53 grams and measures 37.5 mm in diameter. The 1825 issue is especially significant as it marks the first year of Francesco I's reign following the death of Ferdinand I. Combining historic importance, impressive size, and certified authenticity, this Naples & Sicily 120 Grana is an excellent addition to collections of Italian States, world silver crowns, and 19th-century European coinage.
