Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Piccioli - Charles II 1698-1700 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Bourbon, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the kingdom's allegiance to the Bourbon dynasty and to differentiate it from other coins issued by the kingdom during the same period.
