Interesting fact
The 1 Oncia - Carlo 1735 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 territories under his 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 territories. Additionally, the use of gold (.906) in the coin's minting process adds to its value and historical significance.
