Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Naples is that it features an image of Philip II, who was the King of Spain at the time, but also ruled over the Kingdom of Naples. This highlights the historical connection between Spain and Italy, and how the two regions were once united under a single ruler.
