Comment
Minted before Roger II became kingInteresting fact
The 1 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily, made of gold and weighing 1.34g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Ruggero II, who was known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. He expanded the kingdom's territories and established a centralized government, which helped to promote trade and commerce. The coin's design likely reflects the king's influence and the cultural exchange that occurred during his rule.
