Kingdom of Naples <<-- : -->> Sardinia
Prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy, certain parts around Naples used a different currency, with the grano and tornese. Although the King was Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia, that state used centesimi and lira. On 14th February 1861 a set was issued for the Neapolitan Provinces.
In mint condition the two most difficult stamps are the 1 grano black and the 20 grano yellow. In used condition the top value, 50 grano, is very rare.
