Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features an image of King Charles I of Anjou (Carlo I d'Angio) on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily. This coin was minted during Charles' reign from 1266 to 1282 and was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically including copper, silver, and sometimes gold. Despite its relatively small weight of 0.74 grams, this coin played an important role in the economy of the Kingdom of Sicily during the Middle Ages.
