Neapolitan lira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lira was a currency issued for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies between 1812 and 1813. Because the coinage was issued by Joachim Murat, who only contrtolled the mainland part of the kingdom including Naples, the currency is referred to as the "Neapolitan lira". It was subdivided into 100 centesimi and was equal to the French franc. It was issued as a replacement for the piastra, which circulated following the restoration of Bourbon rule.
