ITALY, Napoli (Kingdom). Alfonso I il Magnanimo (the Magnanimous) d'Aragona. 1442-1458. AV Alfonsino – 1.5 Ducato (29mm, 5.22 g, 1h). Gaeta or Napoli mint.

The son of Ferdinando I de Aragon and Eleanor de Alburquerque, Alfonso V de Aragon became one of the most prominent figures in the Renaissance as well as a knight in the Order of the Dragon. Initially the chosen heir of Jeanne d’Anjou, the Queen of Napoli, their allegiance suddenly worsened and Alfonso eventually abandoned those prospects for over a decade until after Jeanne’s death, mounting an attack upon her successor, René I d’Anjou. Once he had been driven back to France, Alfonso was able to hold not only the kingdom of Napoli, but also Sardegna.
