Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features an image of King Ruggero II on one side, while the other side bears the inscription "SICILIE ET AFRICAE REX" which means "King of Sicily and Africa". This highlights the powerful influence and territorial reach of the Kingdom of Sicily during Ruggero II's reign in the 12th century.
