Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the coat of arms of Charles I of Anjou, which includes a shield with the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of French royalty, and a lion, representing the Kingdom of Sicily. This reflects Charles' dual role as King of Sicily and Count of Anjou.
