Interesting fact
The ½ Tarí - Carlo III 1733 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also the King of Sicily at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted to commemorate the king's reign and his efforts to modernize and strengthen the economy of the kingdom. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other, symbolizing the unity and power of the kingdom. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.28 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
