Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pierreale coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features an image of King Frederick IV on one side and an image of the Sicilian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three legs, which is a symbol of the island of Sicily and represents the three continents that the kingdom had connections to: Africa, Asia, and Europe. This coin was minted during Frederick IV's reign, which lasted from 1355 to 1377, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the kingdom.
