Coronato Pubblico Deposited
A silver coin issued by Ferdinand I of Aragon, as King of Naples and Sicily (1458-1494), and copied by his successor, Alfonso II. It receives its name from the inscription : CORONATVS QVIA LEGITIME CERTAVIT, on the obverse, which surrounds the seated figure of the king, the latter being crowned by a cardinal, with a bishop standing on the other side. On the reverse is a large cross.
The Coronato del Angelo, of the same ruler, bears a representation of the arch- angel Michael slaying a dragon.
