Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Piccioli - Ferdinando III 1775-1795 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Copper is that it features an image of King Ferdinand III on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbol of the Trinacria, which represents the island of Sicily, and a crown above it, signifying the royal authority of the king. This coin was circulated during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Kingdom of Sicily during that period.
