Title:
Kingdom Of Naples Charles I Saluto D’argento
Description:
Medieval silver coin depicting the Annunciation scene. On the visible side an angel with large, detailed wings stands at the left, facing right, raising one hand in blessing or greeting toward the Virgin Mary, who stands at the right holding a staff or scepter. Between them is a tall stemmed lily in a vase, a typical symbol of purity associated with the Annunciation. The figures are enclosed by a beaded inner circle and surrounded by a Latin legend around the rim, separated at intervals by decorative pellets and a cross at the top. The style, iconography and lettering indicate a late medieval or early Renaissance Italian silver issue, likely a grosso or similar denomination from a city‑state such as Florence or another Italian mint. No date or value is visible on the photographed side, and the reverse of the coin is not shown, so further attribution, precise denomination, and exact issuing authority cannot be firmly determined from this image alone.
