Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Oncia, 30 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver (.833) weighing 69 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, who ruled from 1759 to 1825. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency of the Kingdom of Sicily and make it more consistent with the currency of the neighboring Kingdom of Naples. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on the other, and its silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity. Despite being over 200 years old, this coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
