Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tarí coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand III, who was also known as Ferdinand the Great. He was a prominent figure in the history of Sicily and played a significant role in the island's political and economic development during his rule. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand III on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's rich history and cultural heritage.
