On page 292 of the book Coins of the World 1750-1850 by W.D. Craig, Western Publishing Company, Inc., a description of the "De Socio" coin is as follows:
NAPLES and SICILY (Kingdom of the Two Sicilies)
The foot and shank of Italy's boot and the adjacent island of Sicily. Founded 1131. The kingdom was wrested from Austria by Don Carlos of Bourbon, son of Philip V of Spain, in 1733-34. In 1735 Carlos was recognized as king of Naples and Sicily. The two parts used the same money of account, but the grana, carlini and tari of Naples were each worth two Sicilian ones. Coin for Naples alone, or for the entire kingdom, are listed here:
