Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily is that it features an image of King Charles I of Anjou (Carlo I d'Angio) on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily. This coin was minted during Charles' reign, which lasted from 1266 to 1282, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the kingdom. The fact that it is made of gold and weighs 7.44 grams adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
