Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pierreale coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Giovanni d'Aragona, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription and a depiction of the Islamic symbol of the crescent moon. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Kingdom of Sicily during the 13th century.
