Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Oncia coin of 30 Tarí - Carlo III (IV) 1733 from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbols of the three kingdoms that made up the island of Sicily: the Trinacria (a triskelion) for the Kingdom of Sicily proper, the eagle for the Kingdom of Aragon, and the lion for the Kingdom of Castile. This design represents the political unity of the three kingdoms under the rule of Carlo III (IV).
