Interesting fact
The 1 Oncia coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Gold (.906) weighing 4.4 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Charles VII of Naples (Carlo 1750-1757), who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the economy of the kingdom. This coin, with its high gold content and precise weight, reflects the kingdom's efforts to establish a stable and reliable currency system during that time.
