Beyond its beauty, this coin tells the story of a turbulent era:
👑 Carlo II d’Angiò, called “the Lame,” inherited a kingdom divided by the Sicilian Vespers, a massive revolt that had split Sicily from Angevin control. Despite years spent as a hostage and continuous conflict, he worked to strengthen Naples and restore Angevin influence in the Mediterranean.
⚜️ Part of the powerful Angevin dynasty, Carlo II belonged to a French noble house that became deeply influential in Italy, reshaping politics, culture, and trade across the region.
🪙 Coins like this Denaro Regale serve not only as currency but as small fragments of a grand narrative—reminders of dynastic rivalry, medieval diplomacy, and the lasting legacy of the Angevins.
