In August 1790, Ferdinand IV, along with his wife Maria Carolina, embarked on a journey to Vienna, accompanying their daughters Maria Teresa and Maria Luisa. The decorative band with zodiac symbols recalls the months immediately following their departure, almost as if to suggest that the people, left without the presence of their sovereigns, were symbolically marking the time that separated them from their return to Naples. This is the second design developed in May 1791, approved by the king, who decided to mint this fascinating coin type for several years, while consistently bearing the date 1791.
