Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Tarí coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles VII (Carlo 1736-1749), who was also known as Charles III of Spain, and was part of a broader series of coins minted during his rule that featured the same design and inscriptions. This coin, in particular, features the king's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on the other, with the inscription "CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA" (Charles III, by the grace of God) surrounding the king's bust. This coin was made of silver (.908) and weighed 4.4 grams, making it a significant and valuable piece of currency during its time.
