Comment
Between 1720 and 1734, Sicily was under Austrian rule and at that time, Carlo III of Sicily was Karl VI von Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor.Interesting fact
The 12 Tarí coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 29.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who ruled Sicily from 1730 to 1735, and it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a king on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other.
