Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tarí - Ferdinando III 1796 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Bourbon coat of arms, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This was done to signify the alliance between the Kingdom of Sicily and the Bourbon dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Naples. This coin was minted during a time of political upheaval in Italy, and its design reflects the complex history of the region during that period.
