Interesting fact
The ½ Tari - Carlo 1751 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 during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the various regions of Italy that were under Spanish rule. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other, symbolizing the union between the two crowns.
