Two Sicilies

Two Sicilies was a kingdom made up of the island of Sicily and the southern part of the Italian peninsula.

Naples issue

 * In 1858, different engraved designs showing the coat of arms were issued on watermarked paper, inscribed "FRANCO BOLLO POSTA NAPOLITANA". Reprints on unwatermarked paper and forgeries (unwatermarked and generally not engraved) exist.



Provisional Government issue

 * In 1860, two values in blue/deep blue were issued, the ½ tornesa like the previous issue and the 1t with a cross design. These were both inscribed as before. Excellent forgeries exist.

Sicily issue

 * In 1859, separate issues for the island of Sicily were issued. These are engraved portraits of Ferdinand II in various shades. These are normally cancelled with a 3-sided frame so as to not obliterate the king's portrait. Forgeries (not engraved) and forged cancels exist.
