Of course, the British navy made sure that Murat ruled Sicily in name only. This coin was only produced in 1812-1813 with 1813 being the more common. The 1813 mintage is approx. 199,000 which is about 8 times the 1812 mintage. Still, even this coin is not that common. There's quite a die clash in the center of the reverse of this example.
